Negroamaro Rosato 'Rohesia' Cantele 2025

The Apulian wine “Rohesia” is a Negroamaro Rosato that arises from an intense relationship between the grape variety, the Negroamaro indeed, and its land of origin. An almost carnal union, which the Cantele winery wants to maintain, giving rise to a round and satisfying bottle that makes the drinking propulsive and sumptuous. A label dominated on the nose by a fruity outline, which imposes itself with excellent scores in Italian and international guides.

This Negroamaro Rosato “Rohesia” comes from one of the most important and appreciated red grape varieties within Puglia, the Negroamaro. The vines of this variety are cultivated using the trellis and spur cordon systems, in vineyards located in the Guagnano area. The grapes, harvested in the second half of September, once they arrive at the Cantele winemaking facilities, are gently pressed, cooling to a temperature of 10-12 degrees. The maceration continues for 24 hours, and then the must ferments alcoholically in steel, where it remains to mature for 4 months, until it proceeds with the bottling and marketing operations.

The “Rohesia” is a Negroamaro Rosato that captures the eye thanks to a very compact color, reminiscent of the hue of cerasuolo pink. The olfactory spectrum announces itself with a mineral profile, from which emerge notes of freshly picked fruit and slightly floral touches. On the palate, it is light-bodied, full, and smooth thanks to a pleasantly fresh sip, making the drinking satisfying; it finishes with an excellent persistent finale. A true hymn to Salento signed by Cantele, a reference reality of the Apulian territory run predominantly by family, now in its third generation with Gianni, Paolo, Maria Luisa, and Umberto, witnesses of a story that looks to the future with optimism.
