A well known red from Puglia which has been exclusively grown in the Salice Salento area. A fantastic balance of dark black fruit, prunes, raisins, licorice and dried herbs with a silky tannin body and long finish.

Askos is the name of our project of rediscovery and selection of ancient Apulian grape varieties that are almost disappearing. Wines are produced by using exclusively these indigenous varietals, cultivated in their most suitable terroirs according the traditional method. We have chosen a Greek “Askos” (=Decanter) as a symbol of the wine making, a practice that in Puglia was started by the ancient Greeks.
