Leone de Castris is the leader of the Salice Salento appellation and the benchmark for Salento’s winegrowing.
87+ Points The Wine Advocate “There is a nice freshness to the Leone de Castris 2017 Salice Salentino Maiana, a bright blend of mostly Negroamaro with a bit of Malvasia Nera di Lecce. The wine doles out plump, red fruit along with blueberry and raw blackberry. Six months in oak provide it with a touch of bitter almond, but the highlight here is bright primary fruit.” Mar 20
