2015 Arcos Salice Salentino



I know Salice Salentino for at least 20 years. Like it. But this one is completely different. If it was a blind tasting, at the first swallow I'd say it's Bordeaux. Even after aerator. Wine matures fast, after some time in a glass it started showing some Italian notes. But still, nothing like Salice Salentino I got used to. Pretty good wine anyway.
Had it with smoked pork shops. Would be good with any meat, poultry, high-end fish.

2014 Vitiano Rosso



Very nice. Made of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese grapes. Tastes almost like Bordeaux, but still different. There is still something Italian in this wine. I like it, bought more already.
Was pretty good with pizza. Would be good with any meat, poultry and some fish.
