Tasting Notes A year in stainless steel followed by a year in oak allows this Riserva to be a big and weighty. An earthy bouquet with fruit taking the background on this older vintage combined with good fermentation lends this wine to truly unique characteristics . Minerality and dark fruit lead way to bold yet balanced tannins and a lasting earthy finish with a delicate touch of spice.

The Story
'Puteus' translates to 'Well' from Latin - referencing the aging and effort that go into this wine. Salice Salentino Riserva is Salento's answer to the Barolos and Brunellos made in the North. This production from the Mocavero brothers is a sultry, exemplary take on the very best from Puglia.
About Mocavero
Producer Story
Mocavero's roots date back to the early twentieth century, with the work and passion of great-grandparents Francesco and Marco. In 1950, the familial land was gifted to Pietro Mocavero who built the first winery in the historic center of Monteroni di Lecce. In the nineties, sons Francesco and Marco, fourth generation winemakers, took up family tradition & carry the legacy of their ancestors.
