2018 Cantele Salice Salentino Riserva

Year: 2018 

Winemaker Notes: 

"100% Negroamaro from Cantele's top parcels, this is one of Cantele's most critically acclaimed wines, widely recognized as a classic.  Rich red fruit flavor with zinging acidity and lively minerality make it ideal for roast meats, especially rosemary and garlic-studded lamb." 

About the Vineyard: 

"The narrow Salento peninsula is renowned for high-quality wine thanks to abundant ventilation, temperate weather, extreme diurnal shifts in summer, and limestone-rich soils. Over the last two decades, Cantele has implemented a cutting-edge "minimal intervention" system in its vineyards, thus ensuring freshness and varietal expression."
