Salasso means ‘bleeding the juice’ in Italian. The fruit was whole bunch pressed and fermented without yeast inoculation in a mix of old French oak barriques and concrete tanks. Once dry, the wine was left sur lie for several months prior to bottling.
A deep pale salmon hue. The nose shows appealing and bright aromas of fresh red berries, stonefruit and cream. The palate is lively, savoury and dry with a base of red fruits, balanced with textural weight and a lengthy mineral loaded finish.
