Canaiolo

Canaiolo is a historic red grape variety from Tuscany, traditionally playing a vital supporting role in softening the austere tannins of Sangiovese in Chianti wines. This grape stands out for its intense color and the sweetness of its aromas, evoking wild flowers and small red fruits. On the palate, it offers a silky texture and subtle elegance, providing balance and complexity to blends. Although less common as a varietal, Canaiolo is essential for preserving the classic identity of central Italian wines.
