Known as the gold standard in Pugliese rosé, Cantele's Negroamaro Rosato regularly lands 90+ scores from top reviewers. This clean, bright, extremely fresh wine abounds in red berry and ripe red fruit, a perfect pairing for shellfish, fried fish, and oven-fired whole fish like orata.
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.
Wine Production
Freshness and varietal expression are the two key elements in Cantele's winemaking style. Winemaker Gianni Cantele starts with the highest quality estate-grown fruit and strives to maintain the fruit's natural aromas and flavors.
