Despite being one of Tuscany's oldest estates, it's only recently that Canneto has been propelled into the elite of Montepulciano’s leading producers, following a series of flattering scores from the famous American wine critic, Robert Parker. The wines are produced organically using both traditional and modern techniques and possess a strong sense of regionality and Tuscan character. Structured yet fruit-forward, this Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is aged for eighteen months in French oak vats, followed by six months in barrels and six months in bottle before release. What emerges into your glass is a rich red with notes of plum crumble, bittersweet dark chocolate, blackcurrant, cherry, cedar, tobacco and spice. Finely balanced on the palate with an impeccably harmony, this will continue to improve for a decade. Consider pairing with stews, game, roasted aubergine, wild mushrooms or steak.
In 1987, a group of Swiss friends, who regularly holidayed in the area, decided to buy a wine estate. They loved the wines from Canneto so much, they chose this one. So, keep an eye out next time you’re on vacation.
