Of the Guagnano winery, this is the most representative wine. Amativo di Cantele is an important and fine wine, the child of its land and impeccable production technique. Its blend is as Apulian as one can imagine. Primitivo and Negroamaro, from the company's best plots in Guagnano, Sava and San Pietro Vernotico. Quality-oriented vineyards, still cultivated with the traditional Alberello system, much loved by wine lovers for the wines it can express, but feared by producers forced to work long hours strictly by hand. The two varieties reach perfect ripeness at different times. Between the beginning and the end of September. Harvesting is naturally by hand, with careful selection of the best bunches. Once in the cellar, the grapes are then destemmed and crushed, and the must macerates with the skins for 12-15 days. At the end of vinification and after the wine has fully undergone malolactic fermentation, it is matured in barriques for a period of about 12 months. Amativo is a rich and concentrated red wine with a remarkable capacity for ageing. Excellent already today, it is a red capable of evolving in the cellar for over 10 years, continuing to offer ever-changing emotions. It is the classic wine that should be purchased in several bottles. The first to take pleasure in immediately. The others to keep jealously in the cellar, waiting for the right occasion to repeat a journey of pure pleasure.
