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.

Intense straw yellow. Ripe fruits and medicinal herbs. Deep, full, smooth.

Albarola is also called Bianchetta Genovese, but according to some it is a different variety. Returning to be more widely planted throughout the region after postphylloxera replanting, it is grown in cool, well-exposed areas and grows best on "tarsus," a friable, dry, rocky soil. It is a pale green grape with round, slightly translucent berries and leaves without serrations. Although the skin is thin, it is very resistant to sea winds, but it is very sensitive to moisture and not very resistant to fungi.
