✨ Technical Specifications
Villa Annaberta's Canaja Gold Rosso Verona IGT is a rich, modern expression from the Cottini family, rooted in the hills near Lake Garda and Mount Baldo. Crafted primarily using indigenous Veronese grapes such as Corvina and Rondinella, the wine incorporates a partial appassimento technique—drying a portion of the grapes before fermentation to concentrate sugar, body, and aromatic intensity. Aged in oak to frame its rich fruit core, this cuvée bridges traditional Venetian drying methods with a contemporary, opulent flavor profile.
