    2022 Amativo, Cantele

    £2795

    While Cantele’s approach to grape growing and winemaking is rooted in the traditions of Salento viticulture, it doesn’t mean that the current generation of the Cantele family doesn’t continue to experiment and push the boundaries of southern Italian winemaking.

    One of its most critically acclaimed projects has been AMATIVO, a wine made from a blend of two of Puglia’s most important red grape varieties: Negroamaro and Primitivo. And the name of the wine, like the blend, is a composite of the grapes that go into it: AMA from the amaro in Negroamaro and TIVO from Primitivo.

    An “international-style” wine created by blending two native grapes from Puglia, the flavour profile of this cuvée gets its earthiness from the Negroamaro and its rich fruit character from the Primitivo. While the Negroamaro imparts freshness and just the right amount of tannic structure, the Primitivo gives the wine balance through its rich red fruit flavour.

    2019 Primitivo di Manduria Riserva ‘Sessantanni’, San Marzano

    £2795

    “The Old Soul”

    Deep garnet with purple edges, this Riserva is rich, powerful, and endlessly layered. Crafted from 60-year-old bush vines, it opens with aromas of black cherry, plum jam, and dried figs, lifted by cocoa, vanilla, and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied and velvety – concentrated dark fruit wrapped in smooth tannins, with hints of liquorice, tobacco, and balsamic complexity. Generous but harmonious, it finishes long, warming, and luxurious.

    For when: the evening calls for generosity and grandeur.
    Pairs with: slow-cooked lamb, game stews, or dark chocolate desserts.
    If this wine were a character, it’d be a seasoned storyteller – bold, captivating, unforgettable.

    Sessantanni (“sixty years”) is San Marzano’s flagship, drawn from gnarled old bush vines planted in iron-rich red soils near the Ionian Sea. These ancient vines yield tiny quantities of intensely flavoured fruit, which the estate shapes with time in French and American oak. The result is a wine that defines Primitivo di Manduria, profound, age-worthy, and iconic.
