Sun-Baked Salento Rebel — Caleido Negroamaro 2020

Tasting Notes

Think powerful southern Italian red: in the glass you’ll find a deep purple-ruby colour. On the nose: ripe plum, black cherry, violets, and a hint of Mediterranean scrubland herbs. On the palate: bold but balanced—dark berry fruit, smooth tannins, a whisper of spice and oak (some sources say 15 months in oak). It finishes long, warm and welcoming
