Cantele, Fanoi Primitivo, 2019

Placing in the top 1% of world wines, this Primitivo packs a punch.

But it’s not overpowering; the cooling of the Adriatic coast keeps this floral and wild. Aged in oak for 14 months, it's got more than a little character.

Having fallen in love with Puglia, Giovanni Battista Cantele and his wife Teresa Manara decided to move to Salento to establish a winery in the late 1950s.

The whole family is now involved in the business and carries on the legacy with the same passion and energy.

The aim is to redefine Puglia’s wines and promote the unique terroirs of Salento with wine of great intensity, precision and freshness.
