About the wine

This Salice Salentino has an intense red colour with violet reflections, aromas of fresh red berry fruits, in the mouth it is sapid, medium structured and persistent.

About Mocavero

At the southern end of Puglia, Italy where it ends, there is a land where the oceans meet with sheer cliffs and tropical beaches: The Salento! It is in this land that Mocavero family has been making wine for years. It is here that the Winery was set up in 1950, even if the little great history of the Mocavero family and its old traditions could be told already in the early years of the 20th century, always surrounded by wines and must. Only with a good wine you can better appreciate the good side of life. Today Francesco and Marco, following tradition and innovation, meticulously select with great taste the best grapes, producing high quality wines.
