This is Prosecco made the old way, before the big industrial producers took over. The Canello family farms steep slopes in Guia, in the heart of Valdobbiadene, and the winery is named for Giovanni Canello, whose nickname is Nani; "Caneva" is Venetian dialect for a shady spot to sit and drink wine. The wine finishes its second fermentation in the bottle and is never disgorged, so the lees stay at the bottom and the wine is naturally cloudy. Expect a dry, gently fizzy wine with green apple, baked bread, and a clean, yeasty finish. It's a great aperitivo, and a fun conversation starter for guests who think they know Prosecco.
