About this wine
Petali is Cantalici's Toscana IGT rosato, made from 100% Sangiovese vinified entirely in stainless steel to preserve freshness. After a brief cold skin maceration of only a few hours, the wine ferments at low temperature, resulting in a bright coral-pink rosé with aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry, and delicate floral notes.
A light, fruity rosé that's an easy entry point into Tuscan wine beyond Chianti Classico.
Sommelier's Note
"Petali shows that Cantalici's Sangiovese doesn't need tannin and oak to shine — this is pure, joyful fruit in rosé form."

Tangano
RedSangiovese · Cabernet Sauvignon · Merlot
Tangano is Cantalici's Super Tuscan, a Toscana IGT rosso blending equal parts (about a third each) Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Pre-fermentation cold maceration and alcoholic fermentation take place in stainless steel, with malolactic fermentation in barriques for the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and in steel for the Sangiovese, before the wine is matured in French oak for around 18 months.
