Cantele’s rosé wines are made from a selection of top Negroamaro grapes that are used to make our flagship wines, Salice Salentino and Teresa Manara Negroamaro. Winemaker Gianni Cantele, to achieve their deep rose hue and their rich aroma and flavor, employs the Italian salasso method (known in English and French as saignée): as the Negroamaro grapes are macerating on their skins to extract the variety’s naturally dark color, he racks off — in other words, he “bleeds” off (hence the name) — some of the must to another tank. After vinification, the resulting wine is aged and bottled as our Rosato di Negroamaro (rosé from Negroamaro) and our Rohesia.
Cantele’s Rosato di Negroamaro is produced in a fresh, light style, with an emphasis on Negroamaro’s bright aromas and flavors when vinified as a rosé.
