CANAPONE

Red Wine ⸺ D.O.C. Tuscan Maremma Ciliegiolo

CANAPONE

This was the nickname given to the last Grand Duke of Tuscany, Leopoldo II of Lorraine who contributed, along with others, to the reclamation of our Maremma. Moreover, this was also the name of a wine which was produced in the past by our Father, one which we have now decided to refresh into a completely new product for our winery, named “Canapone”, made in purity of a variety of a red vine grape known as “Ciliegiolo”, which can also be enjoyed fresh during the summer.
