Caneva da Nani

Veneto, Italy

Imported by SelectioNaturel

From SelectioNaturel:

“The Canello family has been growing grapes in these mountains for 5 generations and making wine for themselves all along the way, since 1971 in an official way. Today Massimo is at the helm having taken over for his father Giovanni in the past 10 years, though Giovanni remains an integral part of the farming and winemaking ('Nani' is his nickname, hence the winery name. 'Caneva' is Venetian dialect for 'shady spot to sit and drink wine').

Today the farm is 6 hectares and all agriculture is organic though not certified. No herbicides or synthetic pesticides are used in the fields and winemaking is kept as minimal and pure as possible (natural fermentation in cement, re-fermentation in bottle w/o sulfur additions for the Col Fondo). 350-400 meters above sea level, soils are mixed clay and limestone with Dolomite granite. 100% Glera vines are planted on impossibly steep slopes, all farming and harvesting must be done by hand. No helicopters are employed by the Canello family to spray chemicals on the vines, this is the regional norm.”
