winemaker's notes:

Liante ("Wind of the Levant") is the icy wind of winter and the hot one of summer, which gusts fiercely through most of the Adriatic, particularly Puglia. The liante is a symbol for a land that breathes.

With intense, complex aromas of wild cherry conserve, dried plums, chocolate and vanilla, the wine shows powerful, ripe dark fruit and spices on the palate, with a pleasant finish. The wine is a great match with spicy foods like Fra Diavolo sauce.

"The estate's 2006 Salice Salentino Liante (80% Negroamaro, 20% Malvasia) is another beauty. Made in a very sweet, ripe style, it offers notes of plums, prunes, leather, tar, smoke and earthiness. It should continue to drink well over the next several years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011.

Castello Monaci makes a range of beautiful wines that highlight the unique qualities of Apulia's indigenous varieties."

rating (9/23/2010):
The Castello Moaci Liante possesses the complexity and aromatics of wines costing twice the price. Excellent Salice Salentino and a great value.
rating (9/22/2010):

This wine is dynamite, it can easily hang with wine that is priced in the $50-75 range. I have recommended it to a Som at exclusive restaurant in, he tried it, bought 2 cases on the same day. Too bad it is sold out, this stuff is really good.
rating (9/21/2010):
It's good, but comarable Salice Salentinos are on the market at half the price.
