Canaiolo, Style and Characteristics In this article we discuss the characteristics and successes of Canaiolo. We are talking about an unusual and interesting monovarietal wine. Canaiolo, also known as Canaiolo Nero or Canajuolo, is an indigenous Tuscan grape variety, which has always been used as a “minority partner” of Sangiovese in Chianti blends (which also happens to be the case in our Sasso Bisciaio wine).

It is with immense pride that we announce a double gold medal won by our two purity wines, Malvasia Nera and Canaiolo, at London Wine Competition 2022. Both Malvasia Nera IGT Toscana Rosso 2018 and “Canaiolo” Toscana Canaiolo Nero IGT 2019 managed to place themselves in the “gold” segment. In other words, they achieved a score of 90 out of 100, or higher. More specifically, our M.N. scored 94/100, placing itself among the very first wines in the general ranking of the entire event, while the Canaiolo received 90 points. London Wine Competition represents an all-round recognition for the wines of our Estate and for the complex work done on
