NEGROAMARO SALENTO IGP ROBERTO CARLOS

Red Wine – Roberto Carlos Salento Rosso 2021

From the exclusive "The Wine of the Champions" collection by Fabio Cordella, we present a powerful red wine: the Roberto Carlos Salento Rosso 2021. This bold and expressive drop from the sun-drenched vineyards of Salento in southern Italy reflects the explosive speed, boundless energy, and legendary shooting power of the Brazilian football icon Roberto Carlos. An intense premium wine for dynamic and powerful moments.

Character & Style

Crafted from Negroamaro, one of the most emblematic grape varieties of Puglia, this wine brings the authentic character and true strength of the region into the glass.

The Mediterranean climate with its long, sunny days and cooling sea breezes from the Ionian and Adriatic Seas allows the grapes to fully ripen, developing immense depth, richness, and balance. The result is a wine that perfectly captures the intensity and vibrant personality of Salento – dynamic, offensive, and absolutely unstoppable, just like Roberto Carlos on the left flank.
