Negroamaro, literally "bitter black", is known for its ability to produce wines with an intense color, rich in ripe fruit aromas and with a light bitter note that makes them unique and distinctive. "Cantalupi" is a tribute to this vine, grown on the rich and fertile soils of Salento, which benefit from an ideal Mediterranean climate for the ripening of the grapes.

Winemaking is carefully controlled to enhance the varietal characteristics of Negroamaro, with a maceration that allows the extraction of color, aromas and the right amount of tannins, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature that preserves the freshness and intensity of the fruit. The wine does not pass through wood, to keep its varietal expression intact and guarantee immediate drinkability.

In the mouth, the wine is warm, soft and enveloping, with a balanced structure supported by ripe tannins and good acidity which gives freshness and invites drinking. The finish is pleasantly persistent, with a return of the fruity and spicy notes perceived on the nose.
