Tormaresca "Calafuria" Rosato 2017

Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(6/2018) "Very pale pink. Big ample nose and palate with aromas and flavors of red berries, quinine and orange peel. Chewy and tactile, offering lovely balance and a hint of extra sugar on the back end, but this works. The color is rather atypical for a Salento Rosato, but I guess it does echo the pale pink wines of Provence that are all the rage nowadays."

Winemaker's Notes
"This delicate rose wine features floral and cherry pink hues. On its nose, wild violet, rose, honey and red berry are to be found. Silky on the palate with a harmonious and fragrant finish. It is best paired with chicken, as well as fish courses and cheeses."

(4/1/2018) "An outlier grape for southern Italy, this Pinot Nero is primary in its ripe cherry and raspberry flavors. It's light, bright and juicy nature make it an easy-drinking selection."

(5/2019) This perfectly aged Vin Chicago favorite is back! Complex layers of leather, tobacco, macerated cherry, earth, root beer, cinnamon and dried herbs belie the low price. Always food friendly, it is just begging for charcuterie, barbecue or stew!

Wine Advocate
(8/2017) "The 2014 Salice Salentino Riserva is a heavy and concentrated wine with prune, raisin and blackberry jelly. The wine is hearty and dense with sweet flavors on the finish that are interwoven tightly with equally savory characteristics. Despite those big bones, this wine from Cantele ultimately offers good balance and a very clean and correct drinking style. It a great value, too."
