THE WINE SPY: Cantele Salice Salentino

By Beacon Staff

This wine is a great bargain and a wonderful addition to an Italian feast. Have this on hand for a hostess gift for your holiday parties this winter.

Layman’s Review: Delicious taste and flavor. This is the perfect pizza wine. Great wine for the price!

Expert’s Review: Cantele Salice Salentino is made from the Negroamaro grape variety. Full bodied with a deep ruby color and a complex bouquet. The flavor of the mature fruit is accented by harmonious notes of vanilla from the French and American oak. Perfect for pizza, pasta and meat sauce as well as any red meat dish.
