Rome meets Salice Salentino DOP: the photos of the event

Salice Salentino DOP: the tasting

Huge success on December, 12 at Palazzo Brancaccio in Rome, where the first of a series of tasting events was organised by Gambero Rosso with Consorzio di Tutela Vini D.O.P. Salice Salentino as the protagonist. The seminar intended for operators in the sector and dedicated to "Discovering the Salice Salentino" was followed by the Wine Tasting that was also open to the public. Participants, among the tasting tables of the Consortium's cellars, were able to independently carry out a journey among some of the best expressions of the denomination. Marco Pagano, Vice President of the Consortium, was present at the event. The gastronomic proposal of the evening was curated by Max Mariola, celebrity Chef of Gambero Rosso Channel, with a menu that included battered cod fillet; Amatriciana pasta; Roman-style involtini with mashed potatoes paired with red and rosé labels of Salice Salentino D.O.P.

Salice Salentino DOP: the wines

The vines, often over forty years old, are cultivated with the traditional Salento style alberello training system, enhancing the traditional grapes of the area: Negroamaro and Malvasia nera first of all. These are representative and complementary grapes, which have always elegantly played off each other in Salento. Negroamaro may have arrived in Salento as early as the 7th century BCE. It is a late ripening grape, a vine of generous production. The resulting wine boasts a beautiful purplish-ruby red colour, high acidity and rich in tannins, and is also suitable for long ageing. Malvasia nera, present in almost all the denominations of red and rosé DOC wines of Salento, as in Salice Salentino, is traditionally associated with Negroamaro. It brings colour, alcohol content and a touch of soft fruity fleshiness to the blend which smooths out the luxuriant tannins and austere attitude of Negroamaro, as well as giving the resulting wine greater balance, especially when young.

The white is generally made with chardonnay (produced in the types Chardonnay, Fiano and Pinot Bianco); the Rosato, made with Negroamaro and Malvasia nera, with the possibility, however, of producing the Rosato Negroamaro if this grape represents at least 90% of the blend. The protagonists remain Salice Salentino Rosso (75% Negroamaro) and Rosso Riserva. And finally a sweet wine of ancient tradition: Salice Salentino Aleatico.
