Canteles barrique-aged Teresa Manara Negroamaro is widely considered to be a benchmark for the category & the winerys Salice Salentino, also made using a selection of top fruit, is once its most critically acclaimed wines in the U.S. today. Cantele also uses Negroamaro to make youthful, fresh wine & a ros, both of which are also favorites among our American friends.
Colour: Streaks of garnet giving way to intense ruby red.
Nose: Candied fruits & spices that evolve into clean underbrush, tea, & amber notes.
Palate: Enhanced by notes of red flowers, the aromas return on the palate transported by confident but not overbearing alcohol. The tannins & fresh acidity work in counterpoint to create a balanced, soft wine.
