Canaiolo, Style and Characteristics In this article we discuss the characteristics and successes of Canaiolo. We are talking about an unusual and interesting monovarietal wine. Canaiolo, also known as Canaiolo Nero or Canajuolo, is an indigenous Tuscan grape variety, which has always been used as a “minority partner” of Sangiovese in Chianti blends (which also happens to be the case in our Sasso Bisciaio wine). However, it is much rarer to find a monovarietal wine from Canaiolo. The Canaiolo bunch is quite small, and the leaves are usually three-lobed or five-lobed. The winemaker who aims to obtain a high-value product is required to limit the yields in the vineyard, especially when

Like every year, on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th of May, the most awaited event in the calendar of the Movimento Turismo del Vino returns to Tenuta la Pineta. It will be a particularly rich weekend, characterized by visits, tastings and a special lunch in the vineyard. This year we will be the only producer to offer Cantine Aperte in Castiglion Fibocchi. As always, the goal of Tenuta la Pineta will be to amaze you and to combine wine with the field of art in order to decline together several dimensions of a positive lifestyle. For 2023, in addition to the traditional collaboration with the contemporary artist Alessandro Bernardini,

(Translator’s note: the Italian term “sasso” means “stone” in English). The prestigious London-based jury describes our Chianti with tasting notes that talk about "Some ripe red currants, wild rapsberry on the nose of this red, touches of green herbs, a pleasant nose" as
