Canoso By the Glass

The Canoso family has always believed in the quality of the wine produced on the hills of Monteforte d’Alpone, cultivating their vineyards here and selling bulk wine in the markets of northern Italy.

In the southeastern part of the Soave Classico lies the Canoso winery, within the cru Cà del Vento, the smallest unit in the area and exclusively owned by the company. With a production of about 70,000 bottles annually, they approach winemaking in a minimalist way, combining the value of tradition with the assurance of state-of-the-art tools, paying great attention to every single phase without using any animal-derived products.

Currently, the company manages 12 hectares of hillside property (between 90m and 290m) across various plots, mostly exposed to the southeast. They focus on Garganega, Trebbiano Veronese, and Manzoni Bianco, sourced from fantastic coastal sites within the Classico area of Soave, along with a selection of red grape varieties for the production of Cabernet Sauvignon, Valpolicella, and Amarone. The vineyards range in age from 20 to 45 years, and benefiting from excellent sun exposure and constant ventilation, they allow for the production of healthy grapes and wines with an elegant structure. The soils of volcanic origin, enriched with fossils, clay, rocky structures, and tuff, are very fertile and low in acids, providing an unmistakable minerality that complements fruity and floral notes, giving us a full taste with every sip.

Canoso winery maintains a low-impact approach in vineyard management with the goal of producing quality wines for years to come, but not at the expense of the environment.
