Vintage Report

The 2024 vintage saw a calm and balanced growing season in Sicily. This allowed the grapes to optimally retain their fruitiness and freshness until harvest.

Shipping and the ocean are closely linked to the Canapi winery. This is partly due to the fresh ocean breeze that blows through the vineyards and because the wine is almost always exported by sea. This is why the winery named itself after a knot often used in shipping. Canapi literally means "knot" in Italian. Over the years, the winery has invested heavily in new techniques, making its wines even more exquisite. All this without compromising the long-standing traditions of Sicily. With the arrival of top winemaker Stefano Choccioli, everything came together, and it's no wonder that these Canapi wines are doing so well.

The old Nero d'Avola vineyard of Canapi

The vineyards for this red Canapi Nero d'Avola are located in the Riesi region, between Ragusa and Agrgento. Here, the Nero d'Avola grapes grow under the best conditions. Plenty of sunshine contributes to the wine's fruitiness, but fortunately, the sea breeze slows ripening. Otherwise, the grapes would simply ripen too quickly. After a calm and balanced growing season, the grapes are harvested partially by hand in the early morning. The chance of oxidation is lowest in the morning, and the grapes retain their freshness.

The aroma and taste of the Canapi Nero d'Avola

As soon as the bottle is opened, we smell the Sicilian sun, bursting with red and black fruit. This delightful aroma is enhanced upon pouring, revealing a dark red color. Swirl the wine vigorously in a large glass, and we'll encounter notes of blackberry, cherry, and currant, complemented by a touch of chocolate and sweet spices. The finish is soft, yet very smooth, with abundant fruity notes.
