Cantele – Negroamaro Puglia IGP 2023
Southern Puglia, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
100% Negroamaro, a native grape of Southern Italy, thriving in the warm and sun-soaked vineyards of Salento. This bottling represents the heart of Puglia winemaking: approachable, flavorful, and true to tradition.
Aromas & Flavors
Opens with floral tones of rose, followed by layers of ripe strawberries, cherries, and blackberries. Subtle hints of baking spice, licorice, and earthy undertones add depth.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, with silky tannins, balanced acidity, and a delicate texture. The finish is smooth, with just a touch of dark chocolate bitterness, typical of well-made Negroamaro.
Winemaking Notes
The grapes undergo a 12–18 hour skin maceration, extracting color and aromatics before fermentation in stainless steel. This results in a wine that highlights purity of fruit and varietal character with minimal oak influence.
Food Pairing
A versatile partner to pizza, tomato-based pasta dishes, roasted vegetables, charcuterie, and semi-aged cheeses. Its balance of fruit and savory notes makes it a great everyday table wine.
Verdict
Delicate yet generous, this Negroamaro delivers classic Southern Italian charm in a polished, affordable style. Perfect as a casual daily sipper, but with enough nuance to satisfy wine enthusiasts.
