Salento IGP

The regional appellation of Salento covers a lot of winemaking in Puglia. Its rules permit the use of a host of different grape varieties, of which Negroamaro and Primitivo are the most popular.

Vinorandum rated wines from Salento IGP


Salento IGP “Patriglione” Negroamaro
Salento IGP “Patriglione” Negroamaro
Cantine Cosimo Taurino, Puglia, Italy
2011
Negroamaro (100%)
“Grapes are left to hang on the vine for a while longer. The result is a rich wine with concentrated notes of black fruit. Big style, but well made nevertheless. Explosive, full of ripe fruit, sweet spice and the trappings of extended oak ageing. Tasting it eight years down the road there are some tertiary notes of earthy mushroom coming through but this is still very fresh. Lots of acidity and tannin to protect it for another decade (or two). Finishes dry, with a note of mint riding a wave of warm alcohol. A bit on the 'ripe' side for me personally, but still a very impressive wine and a fine advert for the region.”
90 Paul Caputo
Salento IGP “Rosarò” Negroamaro
Salento IGP “Rosarò” Negroamaro
Feudi di Guagnano, Puglia, Italy
2018
Negroamaro (100%)
“One of Salento's best rosato wines. An attractive, fruity nose of ripe strawberry merges with scents of wild coastal scrub. The palate is full and round but held together by impressive, integrated acidity. Decent finish and somewhat ageworthy.”
88 Paul Caputo
Salento IGP Negroamaro
Salento IGP Negroamaro
Cantele, Puglia, Italy
2017
Negroamaro (100%)
“Another great value Negroamaro wine. Lots of bramble fruit and underbrush on the nose. Wild blackberry, raspberry and a subtle note of blueberry set the tone. On the palate this is soft and round but freshened up with the variety's typical acidity. Finishes with a little black pepper grip.”
88 Paul Caputo
Salento IGP “Torre Testa” Susumaniello
Salento IGP “Torre Testa” Susumaniello
Azienda Agricola Tenute Rubino, Puglia, Italy
2018
Susumaniello (100%)
“Produced in a clean, fruit forward style with fermentation in stainless steel. Some subtle fruit notes of red berry - raspberry and cranberry - alongside some pomegranate and fresh cherry notes on the nose. Malolactic imparts a smoothness but plenty of freshness remains. This is a simple, but well balanced rosato with good food pairing potential, particularly with local dishes such as carpaccio di tonno or frutti di mare.”
88 Paul Caputo
Salento IGP “Nero di Velluto”
Salento IGP “Nero di Velluto”
Feudi di Guagnano, Puglia, Italy
2013 2012
Negroamaro (100%)
“Intense black fruit on the nose alongside perfumes of cherry and freshly cut violet. A touch of 'asspassimento' in the vinification process leads to a rich, velvety palate, while vines planted in 1935 almost certainly offer additional fruit concentration. Well structured with uplifting acidity, this is one of the great wines of Salento - complex notes of black pepper and sweet spice characterise a long, luscious finish.”
90 Paul Caputo
Salento IGP Negroamaro Rosato
Salento IGP Negroamaro Rosato
Cantele, Puglia, Italy
2018
Negroamaro (100%)
“Deep colour. A structured rosato designed for food partnerships. A nose of strawberry and raspberry with a slight note of exotic stone fruit. Quite complex. Some mineral character integrated with fresh, racy acidity. The finish is reasonable; certainly refreshing and good value.”
88 Paul Caputo
Salento IGP Negroamaro
Salento IGP Negroamaro
Cantine de Falco, Puglia, Italy
2018
Negroamaro (100%)
“Good value Negroamaro. Simple, but well balanced and well made. Clean, fruit-driven style aiming to show varietal character. A little touch of cherry and clove on the finish.”
86 Paul Caputo
Salento IGP “Dieci Anni” Malvasia Nera
Salento IGP “Dieci Anni” Malvasia Nera
Feudi di Guagnano, Puglia, Italy
2017
Malvasia Nera (100%)
“Earthy nose set in layers of black berry fruit; the palate is soft and fleshy wine, well balanced balanced and extremely fun. Fresh, simple, but very attractive. A nice advert for the variety.”
88 Paul Caputo
