Canaiolo Nero is a local, Tuscan grape, most often viewed as a small percentage in Chianti. However in the red wine, Pietraviva Canaiolo Nero, it can be the only grape (85-100%), but local red grapes can also be added (0-15%).
The color is a more or less intense ruby red, and the aroma is vinous and characteristic for the type. The taste is dry and harmonious.
A lighter red wine for the lighter dishes on the menu.
