2018 Cantele Salice Salentino Riserva

100% Negroamaro from Cantele's top parcels, this wine is widely recognized as a classic and one of their most critically acclaimed. It has streaks of garnet giving way to an intense ruby red color. The rich red fruit flavor with zinging acidity and lively minerality pairs well with roast meats, especially rosemary and garlic-studded lamb. Candied fruits and spices evolve into clean underbrush, tea, and amber notes on the palate, enhanced by red flowers. The aromas are transported confidently on the palate with a balanced alcohol level.
