Fanoi Negroamaro Salento IGP with BOX Cantele

Fanoi Negroamaro Salento IGP Cantele in box

Fanoi Negroamaro Salento IGP signed by Cantele is a red wine from Puglia with an authentic and territorial profile, designed for those seeking intensity, character, and a pleasant evolution over time. Its identity comes from the Negroamaro, a grape variety symbol of Salento, interpreted with a style that combines expressive immediacy and gustatory depth. The packaging with a box also makes it a curated proposal suitable for a valuable wine gift.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from Guagnano, in the heart of Salento, an area suited for the production of red wines with a Mediterranean and savory profile. Here, the Negroamaro expresses its personality at its best, supported by a harvest collected in the first week of October and a winemaking process designed to enhance its structure and complexity. The Puglian bush vine contributes to narrating a cultivation tradition deeply linked to the territory, while aging in barriques and subsequent resting in the bottle provide balance and greater definition to the sip.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red. On the nose, it offers aromas of myrtle, thyme, and marjoram, accompanied by ripe red fruit and a pleasant saline trace that recalls the proximity of the sea. On the palate, the attack is delicate, then the wine unfolds with an acid-salty texture typical of the grape variety, supported by a tannin that is present but still young. The finish is dynamic, harmonious, and persistent, with a savory trail that invites another sip.

Recommended pairings

Fanoi Negroamaro Salento IGP pairs naturally with flavorful dishes from Mediterranean and traditional cuisine. It is ideal with roasted meats, mixed grills, braised dishes, lamb, baked pasta, orecchiette with ragù, aged cheeses, and structured cured meats. Its savory component also makes it suitable for preparations with aromatic herbs, legumes, and rich but not excessively fatty dishes.

Serving temperature

The ideal serving temperature is 18°C. If the bottle has been stored in a cool environment, a brief aeration before consumption may be helpful to allow the wine to express its bouquet and the balance of the sip at its best. A long decanting is not necessary, except for personal preferences or particularly young bottles.
