The Cantele Salice Salentino Riserva is made from 100% Negroamaro grapes sourced from Cantele’s top parcels, this is one of Cantele’s most critically acclaimed wines, widely recognised as a classic.
Aged for approximately 6 months in oak barriques the wine is an intense ruby red in colour with aromas of caramelised red fruits, spices and delicate floral notes. The palate is rich with dark cherry and plum fruits supported by zinging acidity and lively minerality. The finish is smooth and long with well integrated supple tannins.
Ideal for roast meats, especially rosemary and garlic-studded lamb.
Situated in the heart of the Mediterranean, Puglia is a land of rare beauty, where vast plains alternate with gentle hills. Salento, the long narrow strip that forms Puglia’s southern peninsula, extends between the Ionian and Adriatic seas. It’s an area rich with ancient olive groves and vines, enchanting beaches and jagged rocky shoreline.
