| Description: | The Cantele (cahn-teh-lay) family originally hailed from Veneto, but Paolo Cantele's grandfather emigrated to Puglia and founded this family estate in 1979. We met Paolo here in Spring Lake when he visited the Bottle Shop, and we tasted through the Cantele wines with him. We were so impressed by the complexity, consistency and value across the board. He told us that this wine, the Salice Salentino Riserva, was chosen one year by the Gambero Rosso as the #1 Best Value Wine in Italy ---that is a great compliment! Made from very old vines, up to 60 years in age, this Salice is aged for 6 months in older barriques. Another interesting fact he shared with us is that Cantele adds even less sulfites than allowed by the legal organic limit. The estate is not organic, per se, but the vineyards are farmed as sustainably as possible. It helps that 80% of his family's vineyards are on the Adriatic Coast side of Puglia, giving the benefit of Nw winds which keep the vines breezy and not too hot. This is simply an extraordinary value for a very high quality red wine. This Sustainable Red Wine Has Low Sulfites |
