Cantaloro Rosso Toscana I.G.T.

Cantaloro is Avignonesi’s everyday wine and is available in white, rosé and red. The wines are fruit forward, easy drinking and accessible.

2019 VINTAGE
2019 was a great year for wine. Warm weather albeit not dry, was the background to a great production in terms of quantity and quality. With just the right amount of rainfall, work in the vineyards never stopped and great attention was placed to the grapes to balance warmth, rain and soil.

TASTING NOTES
A versatile, young red wine with a ruby red colour and a bouquet characterised by inviting aromas of ripe cherries, blueberries and sweet spices. The taste is medium-bodied, fruity and smooth with a long lingering, dry finish, reminiscent of undergrowth, with an underlying hint of menthol.

HARVEST
The grapes were picked between September 5th and October 5th.

VINIFICATION
Alcoholic fermentation with the use of indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats at 22/28 °C and maceration on the skins for a maximum of 10 days. Malolactic fermentation in oak and stainless steel.
