Salice Salentino
Reserva – 2001, Candido
Sandonaci - Italy
Owned by brothers Alessandro and Giacomo Candido, the Candido estate in the Salentino district of Puglia is at the forefront of a small, influential cadre of wineries who have attracted international attention to the increasingly stylish, quality wines emerging from Italy's south.
The wine, 85% Negroamaro and 15% Malvasia Nera, is soft garnet red in color with a nose of tobacco leaves and dried fruits. Suggestions of licorice and dried ripe fruits as well as a strong acid presence make this a great food wine. Pairs well with beef and pork dishes.
