Description

Discover the soul of Salento with the Leverano Rosso D.O.P. from the historic Cantina Vecchia Torre. Founded in 1959 by a dedicated group of 44 local farmers, this cooperative has grown into a beacon of quality in Puglia, representing the heritage and passion of over 1,000 members who cultivate the sun-drenched vineyards of the Ionian coast. This wine is a masterful blend of Negroamaro—the region's flagship grape—and a touch of Malvasia Nera, which adds depth and aromatic complexity. On the nose, it offers an intense, vinous bouquet with elegant fruity and spicy nuances. On the palate, it is beautifully structured, presenting a warm, velvety mouthfeel that culminates in a characteristic, pleasant, slightly bitter aftertaste. Perfectly suited for those who appreciate traditional, authentic Italian reds, this wine is a versatile companion for your dining table. It pairs exceptionally well with robust Mediterranean dishes; think hearty pasta with rich meat ragù, roasted meats on the spit, savory game dishes, or a selection of aged pecorino cheeses. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet meal, the Leverano Rosso brings the warmth and energy of the Puglian landscape directly to your glass. Experience the balance, history, and commitment to excellence that defines Cantina Vecchia Torre with every sip.
