PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
We first came upon Le Salare back in 2017, when one of our sales reps left a bottle of the 2015 vintage for us to try. The wine's deep purple hue, forward black fruit aromas, and mouth-filling, layered flavors conveyed a wine in the $15-$20 range. We were seriously considering pulling the trigger at this price point, but when we did the math and realized we could attach such a ridiculously low per-bottle price tag on it, we made it a top priority to get this wine in YOUR hands ASAP.

Our customers know good wine and terrific value when they taste it; we sold hundreds of cases, with some folks coming back for seconds and thirds. This scenario repeated itself with subsequent vintages and it remains a steady favorite to this day.

The "Le Salare" is absolutely fabulous! Medium-to-full-bodied and silky smooth, it has aromas of brambly cherries, blackberries, and raspberries that follow on the palate. Accents of savory herbs, pepper, and well-integrated tannins add depth. Balancing acidity and a long finish make this wine enjoyable all on its own but even better with your favorite Italian foods and more!
