It is primarily made from \u003cstrong\u003eNegroamaro\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes with a small percentage of \u003cstrong\u003eMalvasia Nera\u003c\/strong\u003e, two indigenous grape varieties that give aromatic depth and personality to the wine. It is a Riserva capable of expressing all the richness of the Apulian territory, offering a warm and enveloping sensory experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 vintage was characterized by balanced weather conditions: sunny and breezy days ensured perfectly ripe and healthy grapes. A portion of them was left to \u003cstrong\u003eslowly wither in a drying room\u003c\/strong\u003e — a ventilated environment where the grapes lose some of their water — concentrating sugars, aromas, and tannins. This process gave the wine greater structure and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fermentation of the grapes takes place in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, at a controlled temperature, to preserve the aromatic purity of the fruit. This is followed by prolonged \u003cstrong\u003emaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e — the contact between the skins and the must — which allows for the extraction of color and substance. The wine then ages for about \u003cstrong\u003enine months in oak barriques\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it develops elegant spicy and vanilla notes, before a long bottle aging that harmonizes its aromas and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, the \u003cstrong\u003eSalice Salentino Riserva DOP 'Selvarossa Riserva del Fondatore' 2016 - Due Palme\u003c\/strong\u003e presents an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections, a sign of its aging and concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose reveals generous aromas of \u003cstrong\u003eripe red fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e such as black cherry and plum, alongside delicate notes of \u003cstrong\u003esweet spices, cocoa, and vanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e.
