Aromas of ripe cherries and plums with notes of cocoa and vanilla. A warm and velvety texture, finishing with a touch of sweetness typical of the Primitivo grape.
GOLD MEDAL - IWSC 2010
Puglia, the heel of the Italian boot is a long flat region with prolific production of wine and table grapes as well as olive oil and is an important agricultural region.
South of Brindisi lays the Salento peninsula that extends towards Albania and the Greek mainland and is Italy's easternmost point. The finest wines are produced in the Salento peninsula where the soil is rich brown on a calcareous base. Though the climate is hot it is not torrid, thanks to the cooling influence of breezes coming off the Adriatic and Ionian seas.
Cantina Terre di Sava was established in 2008 by a group of wine lovers who joined forces to rescue this precious winery from financial difficulties. The investors knew the heritage and potential of this unique land and were able to capitalise on the best aspects of the terroir, climate and unfaltering human endeavor to produce wonderful wines.
