This story has as its beginning a glance, as its prologue the early twentieth century. From that hourglass, suspended over a sepia-colored Italy, comes the destiny of a family and a company that bears the name of Giovanni Battista Cantele. It was he who first set eyes on the center of this story, it happened in Imola, in the middle of the war. Giovanni Battista Cantele had left behind Pramaggiore, where he was born, to reach the exact center of his life. It had the shape of a woman's profile who one day would have become his wife, the mother of his sons - Augusto and Domenico - and would have inspired the wine which today bears his name: Teresa Manara. The Great War was over Giovanni Battista had approached the bulk wine market, a world which began in Apulia, where he used to go to choose the dark nectar to be taken away, towards north. When Teresa Manara saw Lecce for the first time, the time she decided to accompany her husband in one of the many business trips, she felt invaded by the same kind of silence that years before had kidnapped Giovanni. A sudden, irresistible fascination. To the point that she couldn't help but stay. At the same time that migrants were leaving Salento to make ends meet in the large industrial cities, so distant from a harsh land, almost an island. Augusto, the teenage son, one day in 1979 would have founded Cantine Cantele, together with his father and his brother Domenico after having studied at the Research Center for Viticulture in Conegliano and having worked in the wineries of Veneto with a particular passion for white wines. In the seventies, while the world was changing once again, Augusto joined his family in Lecce and started working as a consultant in Guagnano and Salice Salentino until the beginning of the nineties, when some hectares of vineyards were bought and Cantele wines were produced. Today are the grandchildren of Teresa Manara and Giovanni Battista Cantele to continue the writing of this family story poured in many glasses. Augusto Cantele's sons, Gianni and Paolo, and Domenico's sons, Umberto and Luisa. A glance unites them, a liquid talent, a dream called wine.

Description

Negroamaro, Niuru Maru for peasants, in the last century was used only to cut the wines of the North and it was considered as a bridge between Tacco and the rest of Italy, when these latitudes were a border still unexplored and considered exotic in some ways. The history of Negroamaro, today produced in purity, has thus become history of everyone, liquid atlas and widespread identity.

Organoleptic characteristics: 

Color: Intense ruby color with soft and fleeting violet reflections. Nose: The nose is composed of red fruits and a delicate, barely perceptible herbaceousness, which mixes with a beginning of ethereal. Prominently identifiable black cherry, red plum, bay leaf and, late in the process, black pepper. Palate: The taste is characterized by a good gustative balance between softness and alcohol, contrasted with minerality and freshness. Elaborate the gustative persistence, initially soft, with delicate incisive aftertaste, typical of the vine.

Storage time: 

Ready wine, with delicate olfactory evolutions in the following 2-3 years, followed by taste evolutions oriented to the diminishing of the tannic component.

Vinification 

After destemming and crushing, the must remains in maceration with the skins for 6-7 days. The fermentation temperature is maintained within 22-24°C.
