Li Veli Passamante Salice Salentino DOC

Li Veli's Passamante Salice Salentino showcases the magic that happens when Negroamaro grapes are grown in the sun-baked soils of Puglia's Salento peninsula. This DOC-classified red delivers impressive depth and character that belies its modest price point.

What makes this bottle special is how it captures the essence of southern Italy – there's a Mediterranean warmth and generosity here that instantly transports you to Puglia's red soil and blue skies. The name 'Passamante' refers to a local wild grass, connecting the wine to its specific terroir.

Li Veli has found the perfect balance between traditional character and modern approachability, creating a wine that satisfies both old-school Italian wine lovers and those just discovering the joys of Negroamaro. It's the kind of versatile red that can handle everything from pizza night to more sophisticated fare – proving that sometimes the best values in Italian wine come from the south.
