We produce 100% Syrah and 100% Merlot wines, which are international grape varieties that find in Cortona the ideal terroir to express themselves at their best with a touch of unmistakable Tuscan character that is found in every sip.
We cannot say that our wines taste better than the others. Neither can we say that they are like the others.
We can certainly say that every wine of Cantina Canaio expresses its uniqueness through the marvel of its cosy and personal character. Because every wine has its own story, but every story must be accompanied by the right wine.
This is the most representative of our wines because it embodies the spirit of our work.
100% Syrah, it is the result of an early harvest that enhances grapes and the spicy notes of this wine. It is easy to understand and is aged in steel tanks. It offers an immediate impact on our world, a pure expression of the grapes that grow and ripe in our terroir.
100% Syrah. This is a more complex and structured wine. Grapes are left longer to ripe on the vines in order to increase their concentration. Fermentation and maceration on skins take longer and prepare the wines to be aged in wood barrels. Terra Solla is the result of a blend of the best Syrah wine of the vintage that is left resting in French oak tonneaux.
The production of this wine is very limited, only 1300 bottles per year. 100% Merlot. It comes from a single parcel of the estate that is cultivated with this grape variety. A wise and careful control of production is made to contain the excessive growth of this grape variety. The fruits are very concentrated but balanced and over time they create an unconventional expression of Merlot.
