Canaiolo - Tiberio
The Etruscan Vitis Vinifera, and the Latin Dies Caniculares
meaning the first days when the grapes begin to ripen and change color,
defined as “the
most beautiful grape to leave to age.” Wine of great structure, with
pleasing softness, aromas and flavor, respectful of the ancient traditions.
A wine for the great Tuscan culinary tradition.
