Appellation Texas High Plains
Varietal Dolcetto
Cepage 70% Sangiovese, 30% Dolcetto
Winemaking Canto Felice, true to its name meaning "Happy Song," artfully combines Sangiovese and Dolcetto harvested from select vineyards on the Texas High Plains, where ideal growing conditions allow these Italian varieties to develop their classic characteristics while adding unique Texas terroir expression. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, then fermented separately to preserve the distinctive qualities of each variety. Fermentation is carefully managed to retain vibrant fruit character while achieving the perfect balance of residual sugar and acidity. After blending, the wine undergoes aging in stainless steel, preserving its fresh fruit profile and allowing the natural harmony between the varieties to develop. The result is an off-dry blend that speaks to the Duchman Family Winery's commitment to creating approachable, food-friendly wines—perfect for casual gatherings and al fresco dining—that celebrate the successful marriage of Italian tradition and Texas terroir.
