Rosato

The Canaiolo grape, which we locally call Merla, has been established in our territory for a long time. It is particularly widespread in the municipalities of Sarzana and Fosdinovo. We vinify it together with Ciliegiolo. But we also vinify it after letting it dry in crates, in this case as a single variety. It is a grape that contributes preciously to our red blend, but that also takes wonderfully to drying.
