€ 27.00
Produced using solely Canaiolo Nero grapes, this medium-bodied wine expresses the unique fruitiness and elegance of this peculiar variety. Canaiolo is usually used in red wine blends but is particularly at home in La Pineta’s terroir, those generous and bountiful lands near the Tuscan-Umbrian border that have been contended since Etruscan-Roman times. The Estate’s pine cone was a symbol of both fertility and vitality, which the God of the vine, Dionysus or Bacchus, carried on top of his sceptre.
