Canato Marco

In Vignale Monferrato, Marco Canato cultivates the clay and limestone hills that give **Barbera del Monferrato Superiore DOCG** its backbone. The principal grape intertwines with **Freisa**, **Grignolino**, and **Dolcetto**, each contributing a piece of structure and complexity to the blend. This is a vision of Piedmontese red built on combination rather than a single protagonist. Aging, set at a minimum of fourteen months, is the time during which tannins integrate and the wine gains depth. The required thirteen percent alcohol content is achieved by allowing the grapes to ripen naturally, without forcing the process: the result seeks balance and authentic character rather than demonstrative power. Canato thus interprets one of Monferrato's most stringent denominations, where the **DOCG** designation imposes discipline in the vineyard and cellar, and where the 'Superiore' mention signals a precise commitment to aging times and the concentration required of each bottle.
