Zolla, Salice Salentino
Very dense ruby red colour, intense aroma, fruity with hints of cherries, prune and pomegranate, spicy and herbal. Full-bodied wine, warm, tasty, with pleasant fresh aftertaste.
Best served with: Well with salami, rich first courses, red meats and cheeses.
“Light” and “Stone” : that’s where it all begins in the land of Salento.
The “light” penetrates in the secret clefts of the ground with its Mediterranean character, it warms the red color of the soil, draws the scents from the sea and makes the sparse bunches of grapes turn red.
The solid, indestructible “stone”, soft and malleable, emerges from the subsoil, gasping for air; it draws the boundary lines on the dry stone and secretly tangles with the Trulli (typical cylinder shaped houses with a conical roof) across the meadows where the trees are hundreds of years old.
