Paololeo Riserva Salice Salentino delivers everything you look for in a great red: ripe, juicy berry fruit layered with well-integrated oak, a pleasant tannic structure, and just the right amount of acidity to keep it fresh. With the benefit of bottle aging, it gains added depth and complexity, making it a truly satisfying and food-friendly choice.

Vinification & Maturation Harvested at dawn to preserve freshness, the grapes are destemmed and softly pressed, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature of 25°C. The wine then undergoes an extended maturation process: 12 months in French oak barrels 6 months in large oak barrels 4 months in stainless steel tanks 4 months in bottle This careful aging brings balance, softness, and integrated flavor development.
