Description

Toscana Canaiolo Nero IGT

Produced by 100% Canaiolo Nero grapes, a unique medium texture wine. This wine can match with many kinds of food, preferably avoiding strong flavors. At Tenuta la Pineta, we decided to produce a purity Canaiolo to celabrate the fruitiness and elegance of this peculiar variety.
