Description

Salsedine was created by father and son team Andrea and Marco Valiani to make the very best wines from vineyards close to the coast in the south of Puglia. The iron rich soils and salty air give mineral and saline influences on the intense powerful fruit of their carefully selected Primitivo grapes. The wine is deep dark with a knock out nose of mineral wrapped dark plums and fresh figs and a structured balanced full long palate.

The grapes are picked in the first half of September, destemmend and macerated at 25° for 48 hours. The grapes are gently pressed and run into oak casks for the  malolactic fermentation and a further 6 months aging.
