Salento IGT Rosso “Fichimori” 2023 – Tormaresca

Masseria Maìme is located in one of the most beautiful areas of the Upper Salento, not far from the town of San Pietro Vernotico - Brindisi. The estate develops along the coast, creating a unique landscape of vineyards that are born between woods and pine forests and are lost visibly until they merge with the sea.

Fichimori, unique of its kind as a red "to drink cold", is closely linked to the territory of origin, Salento, called in ancient times "The garden of Italy" for the richness and variety of its fruits. This wine owes its name, in fact, to one of the most delicious fruits that grow in this area: the fig in the variety that is characterized by its purplish red color so intense as to be close to black (“moro” in dialect).

Tasting Notes

Fichimori has a ruby red color with a slight purplish hue. The nose is striking for sweet fruity notes of raspberry, blueberry and strawberry followed by delicate sensations of violet. On the palate it is fresh and pleasant, characterized by a soft entry and a fruity aftertaste.

Pairings
