Cantele

2019 Salice Salentino Rosso Riserva, Cantele

Puglia, ItalyVintage: 2019

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.

Description

At the end of World War II, when most of the population of Puglia was moving North to work in the big factories near Torino and Milano, Giovanni Battista Cantele, a wine merchant living in the northern city of Imola, moved his family to Salento. The final decision was made by his wife Teresa Manara, who, at the time, barely knew anything about the area but fell in love with Puglia at first sight. She would later become the inspiration for a wine that now bears her name. After studying winemaking in Conegliano, Giovanni’s son, Augusto Cantele, started the family winery, Cantine Cantele, with his father and his brother Domenico in 1979. Today, Teresa Manara and Giovanni Battista Cantele’s grandchildren run the winery together: Augusto’s children, Gianni and Paolo; and Domenico’s children, Umberto and Luisa. The Cantele winery is located in Guagnano, in the heart of the DOC where Negroamaro dominates the landscape.
