Lucio Leuci 2019 Kosher Terra Guaniani 750ml

The Lucio Leuci Terra Guaniani Kosher (Salice Salentino DOP) is a rich, medium-to-full-bodied Negroamaro that presents a beautiful, intense ruby red in the glass. It is a bold, velvety, and fruit-driven red wine with an earthy, smokey finish that pairs flawlessly with roasted meats.

On the nose, this wine is deeply expressive, offering prominent aromas of mature black cherry, plum, and rich berry jam. These dark fruit characteristics are beautifully balanced by savory undertones of black pepper, earth, and a touch of leather. On the palate, the wine is rich and intense with an alcohol content typically around 14%, leading to a soft, full-bodied entry. It provides a smooth texture underpinned by a solid, yet approachable, presence of ripe tannins. The finish is warming and persistent, lingering with notes of smoke, spice, and baked fruit. Certified kosher for Passover by the Orthodox Union, this wine is exceptionally food-friendly and shines when served alongside roasted red meats, hearty pasta dishes, or mature, spicy cheeses.
