Salice Salentino Riserva DOC Il Tauro
From the extreme south of Italy (the heel of the boot), Salento, comes this expressive red wine, which ages excellently and develops an elegance and variety of aroma unusual for a southern wine over time.
The vineyards of the DOC area Salice Salentino benefit from the proximity of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, which moderate the hot climate. Here, noble, indigenous grape varieties are cultivated under strict yield restrictions in order to maintain the high quality of the wines. Through the selection of the vines and the most careful care in the cultivation and development of the wines, astonishing results are achieved.
The Salice Salentino Riserva DOC Il Tauro corresponds to the changed taste of the wine drinker, who prefers the powerful southern red wine types to the lighter, fruity ones from northern Italy.

Quick answers
How does the Salice Salentino Riserva Il Tauro taste?
A dry red wine made from Negroamaro — the typical grape variety of Salento. It shows the warmth of the Apulian south, but develops an unusual aromatic complexity for a wine of this origin over time. Powerful, but not clumsy.
What does the Il Tauro pair best with?
It is a reliable companion to lamb, braised beef, and salsiccia — but also to pasta with hearty sauce, grilled meat, or mature Pecorino. If you like pizza with hearty toppings, this is also the right choice.
At what temperature should I serve it?
Best at 18–20 °C. That is warmer than many red wines — at this temperature, the Negroamaro unfolds its full aromatic spectrum without appearing flat.
Is this a heavy, massive red wine?
It has body and substance, as is typical for red wines from Salento — but the Riserva aging and the coastal location of the vineyards give it more structure and finesse than a simple Southern Italian red wine.
How do I best store the bottle?
Cool, dark, and lying down — ideally between 12 and 16 °C, away from direct light and vibrations. Store an opened bottle well-sealed in the fridge and drink within two to three days.
