The strength of a grape, the signature of a wine

There are places where a grape variety is not just a crop, but an identity. In Guagnano, Negroamaro is much more than a variety: it is history, roots, belonging. It is the flagship grape of this territory, one that has marked generations of winemakers and continues to tell the story of Salento through every vintage.

In Teresa Manara Negroamaro Salice Salentino DOC Riserva, this connection is expressed at its highest level. A wine that is not meant to surprise, but to confidently affirm the character of a unique terroir. Time here is an ally: maturation in the vineyard, meticulous work in the cellar, every decision guided by the belief that Negroamaro can reach its fullest expression without force, naturally and precisely.

Gianni Cantele oversees every step with meticulous care. First in the vineyard, where grape selection is almost surgical. Then in the cellar, where time becomes a tool to refine and highlight the elegance of the grape. Because elegance is the key word. Not power, not excess, but balance.

The result is a Salice Salentino DOC Riserva that embodies everything this territory can offer: structure and depth, freshness and tension, a persistence that does not overwhelm but accompanies. A wine that does not raise its voice, but leaves a mark—like the things that truly belong to a place.
