90% Negroamaro & 10% Malvasia Nera from Puglia, Italy. Vegan & Gluten-Free.

Arcos is produced by the Castellani family, who has been producing wine since 1903. Their extensive history of sustainable practices continue - fertilizing naturally using Sovescio (green manuring), vine-replanting using the Massal Selection from exceptional old vines instead of nursery clones. The vineyards are diversified with multiple crops - they even breed wild rabbits to live in and around the vineyards!

The wine is a blend of 90% Negroamaro and 10% Malvasia Nera. Deep red in color, with aromas of wild berries, and flavors of dark chocolate intermingled with tart cherries, this is one of my favorite Italian reds. Despite the incredible price, and drinking so well now, Salice Salentino can develop a velvety softness and complexity with age!
