SALICE SALENTINO RISERVA CANTELE 2019 DESCRIPTION

Cantele's Salice Salentino Riserva has an excellent value for money. This full and expressive Negroamaro-based wine reveals all its worth in a creamy, smooth mouthfeel, well balanced by tannins that are present but never intrusive.

This Salice Salentino Riserva red by Cantele is the result of the experience of three generations of winegrowers who have made quality their workhorse while managing to produce discrete quantities. On the farm's estate, traditional bush-trained vineyards are flanked by those trained with the spurred cordon system: this is how they handle international vines. The Cantele family has always managed the winery in such a way that modernity and tradition are perfectly combined, respecting the vocation of the land and choosing vines that can adapt to the Apulian terroir while expressing their potential to the full.

This Riserva Salice Salentino by Cantele, with its pleasant olfactory play of roses and caramelised red fruits, offers a pleasant moment to those who wish to taste it. The fruity scents typical of the vine are enhanced and enriched by the skilful use of the barrique, thus contributing to create a complex and intense wine that surprises with an unexpected freshness.

Colour

Intense ruby ​​red with garnet reflections

Scent

Candied red fruits and spices ending in net awards of boxwood, tea and amber

Taste

Fresh and intense olfactory sensations in the mouth transported back by the alcolic vein pronounced but not impetuous, balanced and soft

Temperature
16°-18°C
When to open
To enjoy it at its best, we recommend you to let the wine 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before serving
When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied red wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
Longevity
You can easily leave it in you cellar for 2-3 years
