Cantele is the story of a beautiful family: Giovanni Battista Cantele and his wife Teresa Manara, went to Apulia - in the post-war period - from the north of Italy and there put down roots.
Giovanni Battista (founder) continued to work in the bulk wine business, bringing the best of indigenous wine to the north of Italy.
In 1979, the sons founded Cantele but for selling bottles wines only.

In the early 1990s bought some hectares of vines and started their own production of wines.

The winery is now managed by the grandchildren of Giovanni Battista and Teresa. They produce many kind of wines using native vines as Primitivo, Susumaniello, Negroamaro, Verdeca, Malvasia but Chardonnay also.

There are different lines: "Cantele line", "Teresa Manara" line with Chardonnay and Negramaro, Rohesia line with some "pearls" as Rohesia Metodo Classico Rosé Pas Dosé and Rohesia Susumaniello. But we have to mention some good vintages of "Fanòi Negramaro".

CHARDONNAY: A Chardonnay different from others, a real challenge, but the results were and are very interesting. A wine which offers a very complex and harmonic aromas not usual to find in other Chardonnay.
The Chardonnay made in Cantele has an identity that has enabled it to receive prestigious awards.
