Product information for "Falco Nero Salice Salentino Riserva from the De Falco winery" in Apulia

The Falco Nero Salice Salentino Riserva from De Falco from Apulia is an expressive, elegant, and profound red wine that masterfully reflects the warm sun of Salento and the tradition of the indigenous Negroamaro grape variety. Its grapes thrive in the classic areas of Salice Salentino DOP production, where the combination of Mediterranean climate and calcareous and iron-rich soils produces particularly complex and aromatic wines.

In the glass, the Falco Nero presents itself in an intense garnet red with bright ruby reflections, compact and deep. The bouquet combines dark, ripe fruit aromas with fresh spice nuances and sweet toasted flavors: juicy blackcurrant and blackberry meet cocoa, rhubarb, sweet tobacco, clove, and a hint of cinnamon, embedded in elegant barrique aromas. This complex aroma is created by traditional vinification with approx. 15 days of temperature-controlled maceration in stainless steel and subsequent maturation in barriques, which gives the wine additional depth, spice, and finesse.

On the palate, the Falco Nero shows a full, harmonious structure with soft, well-integrated tannins and pleasant freshness. The ripe fruit remains present, accompanied by spicy, slightly balsamic notes. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, with a fine balance between power and drinkability – a wine that offers both enjoyment in the glass and culinary versatility.
