This WINE PICK of the month was written for the Luke's of Cape Cod website.

| Probably the sleekest bottle label ever. |
In the heel of Italy’s boot there is Puglia. In Puglia there is Salice Salentino. That is where this particular wine is made, with 100% negroamaro grapes.
Cantele’s Riserva is brick colored and medium bodied with modest tannin and high acidity. The nose carries aromas of mint, black licorice and cherries. There’s snappy cranberries and a bit of raisin on the palate, with a savory mouth-watering finish bursting of bing cherries and a hint of rosemary.
The high acidity, common in Italian reds, makes this a great food wine. Particularly with cured meats and pasta. However you can also drink this all by itself; something I simply cannot do with some other Italian reds, such as Chianti, where food is needed.
I especially recommend this wine to Zin-lovers as it’s almost like a different spin on zinfandel. I also highly recommend it to Zin-haters for the exact same reason.
QUALITY VS PRICE RATING

This would probably the favourite post for any wine lover. The way you defined its specification is too good and I think now non drinker will also get attracted after your description.
