Avignonesi 'Cantaloro' Rosso

Avignonesi ‘Cantaloro’ Rosso - Tuscany, Italy

Producer's Notes: 

A young, versatile wine with an intense ruby red colour. The bouquet is dominated by inviting aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, hints of tobacco and liquorice. The palate is moderately structured with velvety tannins. The taste is dominated by ripe fruit and persistent notes reminiscent of the Mediterranean maquis and light mentholated hints at the finish. Fruit forward, easy drinking and accessible. A fantastic option for an everyday bottle.

Sourced from estate vineyards and crafted with care, it’s ideal for both casual meals and approachable Italian red wine moments.

The nose opens with ripe cherry, soft plum and wild berry aromas, layered with subtle spice and hint of sweet tobacco. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and smooth: juicy red and dark fruit flavours, gentle tannins, fresh acidity, and a dry, lingering finish. The blend typically leans heavy on Sangiovese, with supporting Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for structure and richness.
