ABOUT THIS WINE

Squinzano Rosso is traditionally a blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera, grapes well suited to the sun-drenched vineyards of Salento. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe, concentrated fruit while maintaining freshness thanks to cooling coastal breezes from the Adriatic and Ionian seas.

Fermented in stainless steel and aged partially in oak barrels, the wine develops layers of dark fruit, spice, and subtle earth. Expect flavors of blackberry, dried fig, licorice, and a touch of cocoa, supported by smooth tannins and a lingering finish.
