Vino da Uve Appassite 2018

Sold out

To produce "Vino da Uve Appassite," Canaiolo grapes are dried, an unusual procedure for this grape variety. The name is thought to derive from the Latin Dies Caniculares, the days between late July and mid-August, because at this time the grapes change color. It is also hypothesized that Canaiolo derives from the dog rose, a fragrance present in many wines made conquest the grape. Canaiolo was already known and documented in the 1300s and widely used in the following centuries. After phylloxera because of its difficult adaptability to American grafting, it was left to grow freely around trees. It grows upright in vineyards but is very delicate and sensitive, very susceptible to viruses and spiders that easily populate the leaves.
