Teresa Manara Negroamaro

Destiny comes without invitation and does not take off your hat, in the history of our winery it is true twice as fate actually took off the gloves and put down the suitcase: she was a woman capable of recognizing in the minimal voice of the bulk wines of the South of Italy. 'Italy, a much larger concert.

The name of this woman, Teresa Manara, is all the essence and the keystone of a family passion, the sense of the art of making wine and of all the harvests experienced by the generations that have changed hands, just as they do. the actors of a work replicated several times and become a classic, on a mother earth when the seasons turn, like human lives, one into the other. Therefore, Teresa Manara, is not just the name of a Chardonnay and a Negroamaro, but a watershed of memory, the loving homage to the woman, the mother, the wife, the inspiring muse and the grandmother.

Teresa Manara went through Italy in the years when businesses were still reserved for men, with a temperament which today is imbued with the most important selections of Chardonnay and Negroamaro signed, in the nineties, by her son Augusto Cantele.
