This barrel aged red wine is produced on the same grapes as the non-barrel aged type, Nardò Rosso DOC. The vineyards are located near the town of Nardò.
Nardò Rosso Riserva DOC is a typical representative of the grapes Negroamaro (80-100%) and Malvasia Nera di Brindisi and/or Malvasia di Lecce and Montepulciano (0-20%), which is the same grape composition used to produce Nardò Rosato DOC.
The wine has an intense ruby red color, which gets an orange tinge with age. The bouquet is vinous and intense. The taste is balanced and velvety with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Obligatory barrel aging is 2 years. The aging potential is 5-6 years.
