On the palate it is full and harmonious, with dark cherry and bramble fruit, a little woody seasoning and fine, steady tannins. There is enough freshness to keep it moving, but the overall feel is rounded and mature rather than bright and crunchy. A very comfortable, food-friendly southern Italian red.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eItaly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePuglia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub-Region: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSalice Salentino DOC\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s): \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNegroamaro, Malvasia Nera\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABV: \u003cem\u003e14% \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eVegan, Vegetarian, Organic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Critics' Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003en\/a\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaolo Leo is a Salento producer founded in 1989 and based in San Donaci, right in the heart of the Salice Salentino area. This Riserva sits in the core family range and feels very much rooted in local tradition – Negroamaro at the centre, supported by Malvasia Nera, with enough time and élevage to bring more depth and polish than an everyday bottling. It is exactly the sort of wine that shows why Salice Salentino can offer both warmth and structure without losing drinkability.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
