Alezio Rosso Riserva DOC is produced in a small area around the city of Alezio, situated east of Gallipoli. The grapes are the same as for Alezio Rosso DOC, which means Negroamaro (80-100%), Malvasia Nera di Lecce and/or Sangiovese and/or Montepulciano grapes (0-20%),
The red wine has a dark ruby red color, which turns to brick red as it matures. It has a vinous and ethereal flavor with a rich bouquet, providing a dry, warm experience with balanced tannins and a pleasant, slightly bitter aftertaste. Rich in color and body, Alezio Rosso Riserva DOC is suitable for storage.
The wine requires a legal minimum of 2 years of aging and may have a useful drinking life of 6 years or more.
Best served with red meat and venison.

Umbria is called ”cuore verde d'Italia” (The green hearts of Italy). The beautiful, green hills that characterize the region’s landscape are on par with Tuscany’s beauty. The same is true of the talent for wine production.
