Verso Salento Rosso

Dried fruit, plums and spice with a silky texture and structured elegance. A good value crowd-pleasing, dinner party wine. Designed to be soft, early drinking and easy on the palate, this is just fun to drink.

Verso is a very full-bodied, luscious wine made with a small percent of ‘appassimento’, or raisined, grapes. It comes from the same terrific people who make Casa Contini. The grapes are grown on two non-contiguous crus, with about 10,000 cases total made, which is, of course, very small for Puglia. Rich and dark in color, with vibrant spice flavors, it is a hedonistic experience that captures the polished side of Negroamaro and Primitivo [plus 5% Malvasia Nera for a cherry and plum-like flavor
