Toscana IGT Il Muffato 2020 Canneto

Muffato by Canneto originates from the western hills of Montepulciano, near the church of San Biagio. The company was bought in 1987 by a group of friends from Zurich, admirers of Montepulciano wines, who over the years have built a new cellar and new machinery. The company has 30 hectares of vineyards, 16 of which are dedicated to the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Since 2017, the entire company production has been certified organic.

Muffato is produced from a blend of Malvasia, Riesling, Traminer and Petit Manseng grapes which are harvested at the beginning of December, when the grapes are now covered with noble rot. Once pressed, the grapes ferment with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature, and then ages for 14 months in French oak barrels from Allier. Ageing in bottle follows for at least 6 months.

With a golden yellow colour, the wine releases aromas of candied fruit, honey and tropical fruit on the nose. In the mouth it is warm and quite fresh, with a long finish of toasted almonds.

It goes very well with blue cheeses and dry pastries.
