Wines of Tuscany

Sammarco is a wine with fresh and fine scents of undergrowth, with a deep and intense colour. It presents specific aromas of the soil and impressions of ripe fruit. It has a great concentration with robust tannins. Elegant and refined wine. Percentages of Sangiovese and Merlot are added to the Cabernet Sauvignon. Production varies according to climatic conditions: 8,000 – 25,000 bottles.

Produced with grapes from vineyards of the companies of Gaville (Florence) and Chianciano/Montepulciano (Siena), the latter planted at high density and considered by us to be particularly happy and suitable for producing great wines.

A great red wine, it takes its name from Montepulciano, a Renaissance city in the province of Siena, which dominates the wide and verdant Valdichiana from the top of a hill. The appellation of "Nobile" seems to derive not only from its intrinsic qualities of finesse and elegance, but also from the fact that in the past the production of this wine was particularly cared for by the noble families of the city.

D'Alceo fully reflects the characteristics of the vineyard from which it comes. Intense, warm, refined and elegant. The well-ripe red fruit combines perfectly with the notes of delicate cigar and tobacco. An incredible concentration without heaviness. For once we are not talking about a wine, but about the personality of a vineyard planted by Alceo, who could not imagine having found the excellent combination of exposure, soil and vines (Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot). The average production is 6000 – 12000 bottles.

It extends between Florence and Siena in a territory of breathtaking beauty, made up of villages perched on the top of the hills, of olive trees cultivated in steep fields with an irregular outline and of cypresses lined up to delimit the innumerable dirt roads.

The Bolgheri from the Collection of the Count of Villa da Filicaja was born in the Livorno municipality of Castagneto Carducci, in the heart of the magical Bolgheri terroir. It is obtained with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, harvested following a careful selection. After a short cold maceration, the must ferments spontaneously for 15-20 days at a controlled temperature. The refinement takes place in oak barrels for at least 12 months and for a further 3 months in the bottle before being placed on the market. It has a deep ruby red color with violet reflections. It is characterized by a complex and refined aroma, with hints of wild berries in the foreground, accompanied by herbaceous and mentholated notes. In the mouth it reveals a wine of great balance, with good minerality and sapidity which contrast with a good structure and body. Excellent to accompany red meats and aged cheeses, it lends itself to combinations with roast chicken and game recipes.

POGGIO AMENO, THE MORELLINO THAT ENJOYS THE SOUL Between the Albegna and Ombrone rivers, in southern Tuscany, there is the municipality of Scansano, whose territory is the homeland of Morellino di Scansano, an area particularly suited to the breeding of Sangiovese thanks to the breezes coming from the Tyrrhenian Sea which mitigate the high temperatures summer. Wine with Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin since 2007 is obtained with at least 85% Sangiovese grapes harvested and vinified in the area of origin. Poggio Ameno owes its name to the hill on which it stands, in the Scansano area. In addition to Sangiovese, the Ciliegiolo and Alicante grapes enter its composition.

Among the green hills of Chianti, the Gasparri family has been producing wine for three generations in its Fattoria dell'Agresto, always trying to enhance the typicality of the prince of Tuscan vine, Sangiovese. The property covers approximately 220ha of land, including vineyards and olive trees. 80% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino, 10% Canaiolo. Fermented in steel with 10-12 day maceration. After the malolactic fermentation, it ages in steel for several months before bottling.
