title: Leone de Castris 2005 Riserva Red (Salice Salentino)
description: This is an oak-heavy red wine from Southern Italy that is embellished by aromas of vanilla, toast and spice that sit heavy over a rich core of ripe fruit. The wine is firm and streamlined in the mouth and offers a hint of sour cherry on the close. This vintage represents a huge jump forward in quality compared to 2004.
variety: Red Blend
