Red

  • Ancient Tuscan varietal known as Canaiolo Nero presents unique challenges, particularly with its poor adaptation to American rootstock, making grafting difficult.
  • Additionally, the scarcity of virus-free material for planting poses a significant obstacle. While it boasts low anthocyanin content, it is abundant in malvin and features some conjugated anthocyanins.
  • Often mistaken for Colorino del Valdarno and Bonamico, it serves as an excellent blending partner for Sangiovese, complementing its soft tannins.
  • Canaiolo Nero plays a crucial role in various Tuscan wines, including Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Carmignano, among others.

The wine often experiences significant reduction from malolactic fermentation until the following spring, before revealing floral and sour red cherry notes. It has a light to medium body, refreshing acidity, gentle tannins, and flavors of red berries and floral hints, with a pronounced saline tang. Available in dry nouveau styles as well as light, air-dried sweet variations.
