Tasting Notes

"A whiff of vanilla bean and white flowers gives way to yellow apple and pear as the 2023 Chardonnay Teresa Manara blossoms in the glass. Soothingly rich and pliant, it washes across the palate with an array of ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices, as hints of sour citrus add tension toward the close. An air of custard lingers as brisk acidity puckers the cheeks, leaving the palate refreshed. There’s a lovely integration of oak here, but I crave more complexity."

ProducerCantele

Cantele wines distinguish themselves among Puglian producers for their elegance and freshness. Drawn to the beauty of Puglia, Giovanni Battista Cantele and his wife Teresa Manara relocated to Salento in the late 1950s to found their winery. Today, the entire family is deeply involved in managing the 50 hectares they privately own and the additional 150 hectares they procure, overseeing every step of the production process with care. While the winery is dedicated to native grape varieties such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Verdeca, it also crafts expressive wines from international varieties. Despite Salento’s southern location, its flat terrain and proximity to both the Adriatic and Ionian seas provide steady cooling breezes that moderate the climate. Negroamaro thrives in the region’s clay-rich soils, while Primitivo excels in the shallow limestone terroir of Sava. Cantele is especially proud to work with old Albarello-trained vines-now rare due to the EU vine-pulling schemes of the 1980s-preserving a piece of Salento’s viticultural heritage.
