Puglia IGP Rosso Bio Selvato 2017 - Colli della Murgia

Color: Clear, ruby ​​red with garnet reflections. Intense and quite complex.
Nose: The nose has fruity notes of ripe red fruit, plums and morello cherries; slightly hinted vegetal hints but intense floral notes of red rose and hints of dog rose. Spicy hints of black pepper, leather and tobacco.
Taste: In the mouth it is dry, warm and soft. Quite fresh and savory and with a lively but fairly smooth tannin. It is a full-bodied, balanced, intense and fairly persistent wine.
Food matches: Given the characteristics of the wine, selvato accompanies well dishes with good succulence and greasiness, perhaps with a slight spiciness, savory and with a slightly bitter tendency. Just think of a cut of beef cooked on the grill, a sheep's sauce or, as in the Apulian tradition, a timbale of lamb and roasted cardocelli. Fantastic pairing with rotisserie chicken.

Colli della Murgia

Wine is the fruit of the link with the land and with the origins of those who produce it Colli della Murgia is not a story that is lost in time: it all begins in the early 90s. Since then sacrifice, work, love for the land have merged to create a story of great success. The company is located within a sort of natural reserve, the Bosco di Difesa Grande, in the territory of Gravina in Puglia, not far from the border with Basilicata, on a plateau at about 450 meters. above sea level. The calcareous soil and the important temperature variations characterize our wines in a decisive way and accompany them until they themselves fill the glasses of admirers from all over the world. A great wine needs a dignified home: the current structure is made entirely of tuff and mazzaro, local stones that make the rooms constantly fresh and free from humidity.
