The Start of Production for Candito Cortona D.O.C. Trevisan

Candito Trevisan is a Cortona DOC Syrah red wine, which the company produced for the first time in the 2013 vintage. This is an unfiltered wine, made from grapes grown without chemical treatments in the vineyard and without the addition of yeasts. The grapes are harvested by hand, pressed using a vertical press, and vinified in natural cement tanks—all to maintain the high quality of this ancient grape variety. It is presumed that Syrah arrived in Italy from ancient Persia around the year 1000. Over time, it found one of its best production areas in the Cortona territory, thanks to the characteristics of the local soil.
