Canonica a Cerreto Description

The grapes are hand harvested in 20kg boxes at our vineyards and harvesting is done in stages to ensure perfect ripening of the grapes.

Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation usually lasts about 35 days at around 25 - 28 degrees Celsius. Great color and aromas are extracted from the skins of the grape varieties.

18 months ageing in 225L French oak barrels (1 nd and 2 rd passage) provide complexity and a perfect balance between fruit and wood.

Bottled and stored for 6 months in our cellar with excellent temperature and humidity conditions.

James Suckling: 94 Points

"Aromas of blackberries, blueberries and lavender follow through to a full body, tight and dense fruit and a long and chewy finish. Needs time to come together. Try after 2020."

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

"A muscular red, featuring plum, black cherry, tar and iron aromas and flavors, framed by spicy oak. Ripe and lively, yet solidly built, with the core of fruit persisting on the long finish. Shows fine balance."
