The wines are not trained and are severely pruned, thereby reducing yelds and forcing all the vitality of the plant onto a small amount of fruit. The wines made from these grapes are generous, fruity, and full of extract, and are subject to only minimal filtration before bottling in order to preserve all the characteristics of the product, which, unusually for this area, is aged in small oak for about six months. Serve Salice Salentino at room temperature with traditional Italian dishes, steaks, and roasts
