[ Home > Wines > Italy > Italy > Canonica a Cerreto Sandiavolo 2004 ]

Varietal: Sangiovese, Merlot, & Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Italy
Region: Tuscany
Sub-Region: Castelnuovo Berardenga

Sandiavolo is Canonica a Cerreto's top wine. It is made from a selection of the best grapes available and is only produced in the most promising vintages. Their decision to use the I.G.T. Toscana denomination stems from the choice to experiment with varietals that are different from those specified for the production of Chianti Classico. Comprised of 1/3 Sangiovese, 1/3 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1/3 Merlot. It is a bit more “New World” in style, with big, bold flavors enhanced by the use of new French Oak

Reviews:
Untitled
"Very attractive aromas of black currant and raspberry follow through to a full body, with fresh fruit and a velvety finish. Lots going on in the glass. Cabernet, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best after 2010. 1,100 cases made. –JS”" -Rated 91, Wine Spectator
Untitled
"Here’s a vibrant, ruby-colored blend of Cab Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese, in equal parts, that delivers raw spice and typical aromas of Cab along with generous tones of red cherry, cocoa butter, toasted and mineral notes. Its bright acidity and silky tannins would pair well with braised meat and roasted potatoes. — M.L. (3/1/2008)" -Rated 91, Wine Enthusiast
