2018 Telero Rosso (Negroamaro) Cantele, Puglia, Italy
£10.00Having originally come from northern Italy, Giovanni Battista and his wife Teresa Manara settled in Salento, going on to create Puglia wines, having fallen instantly in love with the region during a visit in the 1950s. Today, the whole Cantele family is involved in the production of their Salento wine, and their energy and enthusiasm for the wines they make is evident. The primary focus of their 50 hectares is on local and historical varieties such as Cantele Primitivo, Negroamaro, Fiano and Bombino, though they have also gone on to enjoy great success with international varieties. Long, sunny days and cooling sea breezes sweeping in from the Adriatic and Ionian seas have led to the production of Cantele wines which are rich, ripe and beautifully balanced.
