About this wine
The red counterpart to Cantalici's Petali rosato, this Toscana IGT rosso is made from Sangiovese fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperature with a shorter 7-10 day skin maceration, producing a lighter-bodied, transparent ruby red with morello cherry, spice, and vanilla notes.
A light, easy-drinking red — perfect for those who find Chianti Classico too tannic.
Sommelier's Note
"Petali Rosso is Cantalici's answer for drinkers who want Sangiovese's cherry-bright charm without the tannic grip of Chianti Classico."
Food Pairings
A lighter, food-friendly red for cured meats, pasta with tomato or vegetable sauces, and casual pizza nights — best served with a slight chill.

Petali Rosato
RoséSangiovese
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.

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.
