Tasting Notes
Winemaker Matteo Vaccari certainly knows what he is doing here. Fruit picked from the best vines Vigneto Branca has to offer. 100% Sangiovese, this rather seductive, layered Tuscan gem is pure elegance. With 14 months in French barriques, and the time and dedication this fine wine has received only lends to its opulence and refinement. Sensational and such tiny amounts produced.
