Cantaloro
Toscana I.G.T. Rosso
C antaloro is the entry wine of Avignonesi and is available in white, rosé and red. The wines are fruit forward, easy drinking and accessible. A fantastic option for an everyday bottle.
A versatile, young red wine with a ruby red colour and a bouquet characterised by inviting aromas of black cherry pie, black berries, thyme, red pepper grains and exotic spices. The taste is medium-bodied, fruity and smooth with a long lingering, dry finish, reminiscent of undergrowth, with an underlying hint of menthol.
60% Sangiovese, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot.
Between mid September and the beginning of October.
Alcoholic fermentation with use of indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks at 22 - 28°C / 72 - 82°F for 7 to 15 days and subsequent maceration on the skins. Malolactic fermentation in oak and stainless steel.
18 months in stainless steel and oak.
