Canavese Rosso

Produced predominantly from Nebbiolo with roughly 30% Barbera and a touch of a local variety known as “Neretta” (the “little black”), this lovely red wine, vinified in stainless steel and bottled 12 to 15 months after harvest, is full of wild berries (notably strawberry and raspberry), spice and a touch of warm earthiness.  The tannins are delicate and fine which enables this wine to be consumed with pleasure in its youth.  As always with Nebbiolo-based wines, harvest occurs usually in the early to mid parts of October.  Approximately 8,000 bottles of this wine are produced annually and a major portion of the production is shipped under our care for sale in the US market.
