Canneto
During the mid-70s a few friends from the Zurich area, with a common passion for wine, began to regularly import “table wine” from Montepulciano. With time, the number of enthusiasts grew and we felt the desire to own our own wine estate.
In 1987 the opportunity arose: a wine estate in Montepulciano, which was just what we were looking for, was for sale.
Our enthusiasm for Vino Nobile and the long term projects persuaded the owner to sell it to us. Canneto AG, the founding company established in Zurich, took over the Azienda Agricola Canneto in Montepulciano.

Careful vinification, the choice of the vineyard location, the bottling, are some of the aspects which receive our utmost care and attention. Every year we try to do better. Nothing is taken for granted, we constantly invest in the estate to improve it.
We want Canneto to be recognized both for the excellence of its wines and for the quality of the hospitality we offer to everyone visiting the farmhouse and cellar.

Sangiovese
Sangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy’s love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world’s – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought. At the dawn of the 21st Century, Sangiovese equated to roughly one in every 10 vines on the Italian peninsula. The quality of Sangiovese wine can be notoriously variable.
