BACKGROUND 

Cantina Dainelli was born from Dario’s deep passion for his land and for wine. A love that grew over time, through years of hard work, ideas, and expectations that recall the ground, grapes, and bottles filled with perseverance. A second life rich in enthusiasm.

Today, Cantina Dainelli is an experience that aims to convey a message of authenticity and craftsmanship. It is family, an intimate project created at home for the family. Between the new and the memory, between innovation and tradition, between ambition and moderation.

Year after year, bottle after bottle, the four words that ground the winery are:

Tradition

Attention to Detail

Originality

Amusement

The Terroir

The winery is nestled among the rolling hills near Cerreto Guidi and the terraces overlooking the sea of Giglio Island. Cantina Dainelli its not just a brand, it is place. Here the nature and land dictate not only the timing but also the different identities of the product. The vineyards are an average height of 150 meters above sea level covering approximately 3 hectares. In the Cerreto are, the main varietal is Sangiovese and a small extension of Malvasia Nero Toscana. On Giglio Island, the main varietal is Ansonica. The Ansonica is harvested by hand from steep paths on terraces of dry, stone walls above the sea. The grapes are dense with aromas from the sea and the wind with unique minerality and sapidity.

The soil of Cerreto Guidi is composed of typical Tuscan clay called mattaione. It has a strong presence of shells and calcium carbonate that give the wines their elegance.

DAINO IN BOLLA

  • PalateVery pleasant, thanks to its aromatic notes and delicate perlage.

  • NoseRecognisable aromas of bread deriving from the Ancestral Method processing, with hints of peach and citrus notes

  • FOOD PAIRINGSExcellent as an aperitif. Suitable for dishes that are not too challenging, such as pork-based main courses. It is also an ideal accompaniment to pizza instead of beer.

 

RED

  • PalateFull-bodied, soft, with fresh acidity and a slight savouriness. Tannin

  • NoseIntense, it immediately expresses a strong grassy note that gradually gives way to a distinct succession of fruity notes such as black cherry, blueberry, raspberry and an extremely elegant dried rosehip

  • FOOD PAIRINGSFirst courses with white meat sauces, grilled red meat.

RUDE

  • PalateOn the palate we find once more the character expressed on the nose: very structured, almost arrogant, it immediately displays that this is a wine born to last, while also being enjoyable immediately as an accompaniment to more complex dishes. Although structured, it has nonetheless an almost disarming elegance. Strong acidity and evolving tannins confirm that we are dealing with a wine born to age.

  • NoseAnything but discreet, it expresses itself with its full intensity, showing off its “Rude” personality. Its aroma is a continuous experience: initially it emits notes of jammy fruit which then give way to a potpourri distinguished by notes of red rose, cinnamon and even some hints of candied blood orange.

  • FOOD PAIRINGSFirst courses with long-cooking sauces, stewed game dishes.

INTRUSO

  • PalateA noteworthy structure is immediately discernible, full-bodied but at the same time very smooth, with an excellent level of acidity that underscores its suitability as a wine for aging. Fine-grained tannins, mature but with marvellous capacities for evolution.

  • NoseExtremely intense, it expresses a heady selection of very ripe fruity notes, with marked hints of berries and brambles, slowly followed by cinnamon and clove, elegantly sustained by a balsamic component reminiscent of eucalyptus, giving roundness to the notable alcoholic impression.

  • FOOD PAIRINGSFirst courses with structured sauces, stewed red and white meats that don’t require prolonged cooking, grilled game, stewed oily fish.
