Salice Salentino
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Established in 1982 across seven Puglia municipalities, including Campi Salentina and Guagnano, the Salice Salentino DOC defines its identity through Negroamaro, which must constitute at least 75% of the base red blend. What sets this denomination apart is the strict aging regimen of its Rosso Riserva, requiring a minimum of 24 months of maturation, including at least six months in wood starting on November 1st of the harvest year. While standard red and white wines permit a 70% grape-to-wine extraction, the appellation restricts its rosatos to a concentrated 50% limit, a technical constraint that shapes the character of these regional pink wines.
