Agricole Vallone 2005 Riserva Vereto Red (Salice Salentino)

Country: Italy / Riserva Vereto
Variety: Red Blend Southern Italy
Winery: Agricole Vallone / Salice Salentino

This is a Negroamaro-based wine (with 10% Malvasia Nera) that boasts pretty layers of cinnamon spice and clove over a solid base of chewy, mature fruit. It has an easy, no-fuss personality and would pair well with pizza or pasta.
