About the Producer:
Messapicus is
one of the elite estates pushing to replace quantity with quality
in Puglia’s wine production. They present excellent examples
of traditional regional wines, including Copertino and the more
conspicuous Salice Salentino, both made from blends in which Negroamaro
dominates. This indigenous grape brings deep color to wines and
introduces a pleasant hint of bitterness. Messapicus’ bottlings
are distinctly southern, with the heat and warmth of the area shining
through in every glass.
