A blend of Montepulciano (70%) and Sangiovese, Le Caniette’s Morellone has weight and convey an alluring dark cherry fruit quality. Nicely polished, it retails a hint of charming rusticity in the finish, which frankly, adds to its appeal. A smokey richness and a chewy texture coupled with its uplifting acidity make it an easy choice for hearty fare as the temperatures plunge this fall.
