Tasting notes: Brilliant ruby red in color, on the nose this wine offers scents of red fruits, plums, and violets. Also evident are notes of blond tobacco, graphite, damp underbrush, and toasty notes. On the palate, it is pleasantly refreshing, with elegant and balanced tannins that leave a long finish of toasted and bitter cacao notes, which come from aging in wood. Will age well for eight years or more.
This is the winery’s most historic wine, the first Viticcio label, made with a blend of Sangiovese grapes selected from our vineyards and rounded out with a small addition of Merlot.

The 2017 Chianti Classico is a pleasant, open-knit wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry, white pepper, mint and orange peel give the 2017 a good deal of aromatic nuance as bright Sangiovese tannins kick in on the finish. The 2017 has plenty to offer.

Aromas of toast, dark-skinned fruit and mocha emerge from the glass. The easygoing palate offers black plum, clove and vanilla alongside smooth tannins.
