Kosher, earthy, spiced.
The Leuci wines are all kosher, and made by the Leuci family, which has been operating since 1924, thus the company name Lucio Leuci is a tribute to the hard work of the current owners' grandfather. Today the grandchildren and brothers, Francesco and Lucio, devote themselves completely to produce the wines, a testament to their native land in Salento. Their grapes are all estate grown from 30 hectares; of these 22 hectares are planted with the Negroamaro grape variety, three are planted with Montepulciano and five with Chardonnay.
Expect sour cherry and leather, bark and peanut butter, dried flowers and salted licorice on the nose. The palate is equally earthy with tart red berry, fresh turned soil and spice flavours. A definitive food wine for game meats, meat sauces, hard cheeses and roasted veg.
