Cantele Rosato Negroamaro 2007 IGT Puglia


The grapes are macerated from 12-18 hours to infuse the colors and aromas of 100% Negroamaro, then fermented in steel tanks before bottling.

Pinkish rose with hints of copper paints this Rosato from Puglia, while sour cherry gummy bears and strawberries express the aromas. The crisp palate shows a tart freshness that sings with the essence of rose water and cherries.

Pairing superbly with cauliflour soup, scallops with pancetta and crispy greens, and a quatro formaggio risotto at Il Poeta in Forest Hills (expertly suggested by Luca).

We had Cantele for like two years at In Vino and had to shake hands and wish a safe journey. It made it into your blog and that's great. It's like seeing that and old friend is doing well.
