Product Notes

The Cantele Salice Salentino Rosso Riserva wine is an exquisite Italian offering from the sun-drenched region of Puglia. With an attractive ruby red colour, this wine offers an inviting bouquet of ripe cherries, plum and a hint of spice. The palate reveals dense, soft tannins perfectly balanced with a fruity concentration and an unmistakable complexity that is characteristic of the native Negroamaro grape variety. Leaving a long, satisfying finish, this medium-bodied wine pairs superbly with robust meat dishes, making it a fabulous companion for dinner parties. It truly encapsulates the sun-soaked charm of southern Italy.

Tasting Notes

Colour - Streaks of garnet giving way to intense ruby red. Nose - Candied fruits and spices that evolve into clean underbrush, tea, and amber notes. Palate - Enhanced by notes of red flowers, the aromas return on the palate transported by confident but not overbearing alcohol. The tannins and fresh acidity work in counterpoint to create a balanced, soft wine.
