Leone de Castris Salice Salentino - 2007 - 90 Points - James Melendez
This wine is 90% Negroamaro and 10% Malvasia Nera---the Negroamaro is a signature of Puglia--the boot heel of Italy. Negroamaro is a combined Italian word - Negro means black or dark and Amaro comes from the Greek word Maru. But this grape is dark but not black and it certainly is not bitter. A superb signature of dryness and elegance. A great food wine that I like to enjoy on it's own.

Salice Salentino Riserva 2013 Cantele
The Wine Advocate scored this 90 points saying The Cantele 2013 Salice Salentino Riserva shows a greater level of depth and finesse compared to many of its peers. The wine is packed tight with blackberry fruit, with Maraschino cherry, plum and prune in abundance. The wine is chewy and rich for sure, but it also provides an authentic and generous portrait of a red wine from Puglia.

Al Vinitaly 2012 la Cantina Leone De Castris, l'eccellenza del vino pugliese
Tra le cantine più storiche d'Italia, con 80 anni di attività, e tra le più note della Puglia, porta nel mondo i vini tipici di Salice Salentino, puntando soprattutto sui vitigni autoctoni e sperimentando quelli alloctoni. La storia del vino pugliese e quella dell'azienda vinicola Leone de Castris viaggiano parallele. Presente al Vinitaly 2012, riscuotendo ovviamente il solito successo. E' Piernicola Leone De Castris a raccontarci la storia della sua azienda, i vini prodotti e il mercato conquistato.
LEONE DE CASTRIS, A THREE CENTURIES LONG HISTORY
Salice Salentino, a small village in Salento rich in vineyards and olive trees, is the landscape giving life to Leone de Castris’ wine tradition.
It is exactly here, on the very spot where today’s cellar stands, that in 1665 Duke Oronzo, Earl of Lemos, gave birth to the company. He got enchanted by this landscape and decided to sell all his properties in Spain in order to draw the best from the Salentine rich terroir.
He began to plant new vines, olive trees and wheat along 5 thousand hectares‘ properties, not only in Salice, but also in Guagnano, Veglie, Villa Baldassarri, Novoli and San Pancrazio.
From the beginning of the 19th century the Winery used to export bulk wine to the United States, Germany and France until, with Piero and Lisetta Leone de Castris, the bottling had its start in 1925. An extremely important year, 1943, marks the birth of Five Roses and the improvement of the bottling line that has seen our rosé being the first ever bottled in Italy and sold first of all in USA.
The production of Five Roses, in fact, began during the end of the Second World War, thanks to the initiative and boldness of Don Piero. He had his wine tasted by the American General Charles Poletti, Supply Officer of the Allied Forces. It was a success and from then on Five Roses has been our most important wine, traditionally speaking, and the first one making our company know, together with Salento, all over the world. The name “Five Roses” derives from a “contrada” belonging to the family, so called because for several generations each de Castris had 5 children.
The Red Salice Salentino was born in 1954 and, mainly thanks to the efforts of the Company, got the DOC denomination in the aerly 70’s.
In the ‘60s, the direction of the Company was handled by Cavaliere del Lavoro, Salvatore Leone de Castris and thanks to him the company had an important development, both locally and internationally speaking.
His know-how, of continuous improvement, is now carried on by his son Piernicola Leone de Castris, managing director since late ‘90s.
New vines have been planted over the years: Chardonnay and Sauvignon going together with the traditional ones: Negroamaro, Malvasia nera, Verdeca, Moscato, Aleatico, Primitivo.
The Winery’s production is very rich: red, white and rosé DOC wines (Salice Salentino, Locorotondo, Copertino, Primitivo di Manduria), interesting IGT Salento and Puglia wines, sparkling rosé and white wines.
The entire selection is quite often awarded with prestigious recognitions and our products are present not only in European markets, but also in USA, Canada, Brasile, Autralia, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, etc.
The Winery is enriched by a huge Museum where the guests can travel through the three centuries of company’s history. There is also an elegant hotel & restaurant, “Villa Donna Lisa”, provided with a nice swimming pool and garden. The newest facility is a cosy and well designed wine bar situated on front of the Winery, named ‘ Five Roses Club 1943’ and dedicated to the legendary first rosé wine to be bottled in Italy.
We have always been pioneers and this has given us an historically documented key role in the spread of Salento knowledge all over the world.
Our average production is 2,5 millions of bottles per year.
Leone de Castris has been working for centuries in Puglia and only Apulian products. This could be a restriction for someone, but for us is a peculiarity. Our mission is making the most of the products given by the land in which we were born and grown.
We could say that we represent 350 years of history looking towards future.

Vini pugliesi: degustazione del Salice Salentino Due Palme
Video-degustazione del Salice Salentino Selvarossa Rosso Riserva 2010 della Cantina Due Palme. Si tratta di un vino pugliese ottenuto da uve Negroamaro 85% e Malvasia Nera.
Dopo una prima descrizione dell'azienda Marina Ciancaglini esegue l'analisi visiva del vino, un rosso tendente all'amaranto. Segue la fase olfattiva con note di frutti rossi, frutta secca come datteri e spezie, cacao e caffè. In bocca il gusto è pieno, intenso, tipico di un vino del Sud.
Infine, lo chef Federico Natale del Ristorante Il Mugolone di Siena ci propone un abbinamento con tagliatella al ragu di Cinta Senese. Si tratta di un ragu molto deciso aromatizzato con basilico e dragoncello, abbinato a una tagliatella rigorosamente fatta a mano.

Author: Mark V. Fusco San Antonio, TX In this episode of 1337 Wine TV, Mark reviews four wines from the Cantele Winery in Puglia (Apulia) Italy. These were kindly donated by my friend, Dr. Jeremy Parzen, in Austin. I review 4 wines here. First is the 2011 Chardonnay. Not a grape that comes to mind when thinking Italian wine, especially in Southern Italy. The next two are Negroamaros with one being the Salice Salentino Riserva (2010 and 2009 respectively - although the video says otherwise for the Riserva). The last wine is the 2010 Primitivo.

Salice Salentino DOC 2008 La Casada
Epicuro Salice Salentino Reserva - '05 - 89 Points - James Melendez
This wine from the Salice Salentino which is the boot heal of Italy--it's 80% negro amaro and 20% Malvasia Nera. The Negro Amaro grape in mine opinion is a grape to look out for from Italy--it is a beautifully scented grape that is nearly black as the name suggest--the Italian word 'Negro' means black and the word Amaro comes from the Greek Maru which connotes bitterness--however there is no bitterness but bountiful quantities of earthen notes. This wine is lush and gives characteristics of rose petal, blackberry - black plum -and this wine is not showy but a truly complex and sophisticated wine and has a superb dry finish. Other notes are mushroom, orchard in the fall season, ground mace and clove
It's a wine that goes extremely well with food and it's scent is truly magnificent. I predict we will see more Negro Amaro's hit U.S. shelves, restaurants and wine bars. Found this wine at Trader Joes at a bargain price of $4.99.

Italienischer Rotwein - Apulien - Salice Salentino DOC - Weingut Feudo die Santa Croce - Vindio
- Hauptbestandteil des Salice Salentino ist die Rebsorte Negro Amaro. Er ist einer der bekanntesten Weine aus Italien. Salento beschreibt das Gebiet, aus dem er stammt.
Die Farbe ist schön dunkelrot mit klaren, leicht goldenen rosa Reflexen. Das Bouquet zeigt sich weinig und sehr angenehm fruchtig mit leichten Nuancen der Wachholderbeere. Der erste Schluck zeigt, dass es sich um einen intensiven Rotwein handelt, der einen netten Geschmack hat und im Abgang eine zartbittere Komponente zeigt.
Diese Charakteristika machen ihn zu einem leichten Trinkgenuss. Das findet auch Weinexperte Luca Maroni und vergibt 85 Punkte an diesen Rotwein aus dem Hause Feudo die Santa Croce, die uns einen tollen Wein zu einem grandiosen Preis-Genuss Verhältnis bescheren.
