tasting room

“Wine is art,” says Paolo Cantele.

The notion is one of the key elements of the Cantele philosophy and the Cantele approach to winemaking.

And the Cantele family applies this notion to everything they do: From the packaging of the wines to the look and feel of the Cantele winery and the family’s tasting room iSensi.

For a recent evening event there, the family decided to illuminate the space with the lighting you see above.

The visual impact, they explain, is your first impression of the wines. And so it sets the tone for everything they do, from growing the grapes to the labeling of the bottles before the wines are shipped.

Summer is almost at an end and harvest is around the corner here at Cantele.

But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t time to connect with friends and share great Pugliese cuisine and classic Pugliese wines.

That’s a party (above) that we hosted this week at iSensi, our test kitchen, tasting room, and events space.

Happy summer everyone! Stay tuned for news from the 2019 harvest!

iSensi is a space where aromas and flavors take shape, where music and art are blended together to create a multi-sensorial experience. We offer our guests a hands-on experience where tradition and innovation come together to create a wholly unique and unforgettable visit.

iSensi also hosts al fresco lunches and dinners featuring classic Pugliese foods, dishes, and wines.

When you attend a wine tasting at Cantele’s tasting room and test kitchen iSensi, you don’t just taste wine — you experience wine.

Guests at iSensi, like the group of Swedish journalists and restaurateurs above, not only taste the wines but also have the opportunity to pair them with classic Pugliese dishes and foods.

And as these recent visitors did, they also get to lend a hand in making the food.

No food and wine trip to Salento is complete with rolling out a few orecchiette!
