Red Wine Negroamaro Salice Salentino D.O.C. Riserva

DOC Riserva is the attention that Vallone dedicates to the two most representative controlled designations of origin of the territory. It is a long journey; 24 months of passion. Both reserves are high in six months wood.

Vereto is the name of our Negroamaro vineyard located on the Iore estate in San Pancrazio Salentino. The soft and silky tannin is an unequivocal declaration of origin of pure Negroamaro.
