Recanati

Recanati is a winery in the Upper Galilee, established in 2000 by Lenny Recanati and Uri Shaked. Chief winemaker Kobi Arviv, who began his career at the winery in 2006, leads wine production.

Most of its vineyards are in Galilee and Golan; its grapes include Mediterranean varieties such as Petite Sirah, Marselan and Carignan, alongside Marawi, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Its wines include Wild Carignan, from old Carignan vines at Givat Shemesh in the Judean Hills, on chalk and rendzina soils. Old vines also feature in its Sauvignon Blanc, which uses grapes from vines planted in 1992 at Ben Zimra in the Upper Galilee and vineyards at Tel Fares in the Golan Heights.
