'Five Roses 78th Anniversary' Salento IGT Rosato Leone de Castri 2021

Salento Rosato Five Roses Anniversary is a wine with a fresh, full and rich taste. Among the top of the range of the Leone de Castris winery, this wine was produced for the first time in 1993, on the occasion of the 50 years of continuous production of Five Roses, one of the best known and most appreciated wines of Salento. A suggestive cuvee obtained from Negramaro and black Malvasia di Lecce grapes which gives life to a wine with a characteristic bright cherry colour. Born as a celebratory wine, it has fully entered the cellar's production, becoming a point of reference. The Leone de Castris winery is a historic company in the panorama of Salento wine production. Born in 1655 from the passion for these lands of one of the Spanish counts of Lemos, from 1925 it began to expand into the national and international market with its own brand. In the 250 hectares of land owned by the winery, various vines are grown, including those that give rise to the Five Roses, a complex and structured rosé wine, which over the years has become a true icon of Salento.
