'Amativo' Salento IGT Cantele 2020

The Amativo from the renowned Cantele Salento winery is a great red wine, a Salento IGT that well represents the traditional art of winemaking in the area. The result of a blend made up of Primitivo grapes (60%) and Negroamaro grapes (40%), the two most common native varieties in Puglia, this wine has received various awards, including the 4 bunches of the Bibenda Guide, which judged it excellent wine. Amativo is the result of a harvest carried out in two phases: the Primitivo grape is harvested in the first days of September, the Negroamaro grape is harvested in the last days of the same month, followed by maceration with the skins and fermentation, after which the wine is aged for 12 months in barriques. The result is a red with a remarkable capacity for evolution, which can be left to rest in the cellar for 3-4 years. A full-bodied, intense wine with a good structure, for an important label that leaves no one indifferent.
