The Li Veli Pezzo Morgana Salice Salentino Riserva is an exquisite representation of the Salice Salentino DOC, embodying the depth, complexity, and tradition of this esteemed Italian wine region located in the heart of Puglia. This Riserva is crafted primarily from Negroamaro, a grape that is synonymous with the region's winemaking heritage, often blended with Malvasia Nera to add layers of complexity and nuance. It presents a deep ruby color with garnet hints, indicative of its maturity and elegance. The bouquet is a rich tapestry of aromas, featuring dark cherries, ripe blackberries, and plums, beautifully interwoven with notes of Mediterranean herbs, tobacco, and a subtle hint of vanilla from its aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and harmonious, with a velvety texture and well-rounded tannins that lead to a long, refined finish, showcasing the wine's superb balance and aging potential.

This wine is a tribute to the unique terroir of the Salento peninsula, where the warm Mediterranean climate and calcareous soils contribute to the intensity and character of the wines.
