First Winery
The winery is located in a country house that has belonged to the family since the 1600s and brought it back to its original splendor by keeping all its characteristics unchanged. The name “Canaio” derives from the nickname given to one of the ancestors who lived in the family estate and was called “Canaio” because of his great passion for hunting and thus for the high number of hounds he had.
