Vinorandum rated wines from Leone De Castris


Salice Salentino DOC “Donna Lisa” Riserva
Salice Salentino DOC “Donna Lisa” Riserva
Leone De Castris, Puglia, Italy
2015 2014
Negroamaro (90%)Malvasia Nera (10%)
“Some primary notes of ripe black fruit supported by further aromas of dried prune, orange peel and fruitcake. A rich, intense fruit forward style of Salice Salentino, its velvet texture smooths the way for warm splashes of alcohol. Well balanced and well made, this still has many years ahead of it. Just starting to accumulate tertiary notes of earth and pepper.”
90 Paul Caputo
Salice Salentino DOC
Salice Salentino DOC
Leone De Castris, Puglia, Italy
2016
Negroamaro (90%)Malvasia Nera (10%)
“From the layers of prune and black cherry emerges a restrained but discernible coat of vanilla to compliment more subtle suggestions of pepper, earth and cocoa. Medium bodied and fruit forward, but possessing the typical grip of Negroamaro, this is a solid wine. Evolving nicely a few years from the vintage.”
88 Paul Caputo
