Golden Vines

Vigna Vecchia is the wine we make from our Le Terrazze vineyard, one of the oldest vineyards in Tuscany. Not just a single vineyard wine, but wine made from ancient Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo vines. Fewer grapes per vine, and especially vines of this antiquity, means more concentration, more complexity, and more character. Our VV spends 30 days in stainless steel tanks, 24 months in French oak tonneaux (second and third use), and at least 12 months in bottle prior to release. Because each of the old vines yields only a handful of grapes, we produce only a limited number of bottles of VV each vintage. We promise you that you will be taken by the sheer elegance and depth of character of this wine. Ernesto Gentili has included the VV 2014 in his top ten Sangiovese IGTs available on the market today. He said this about the wine: “Light and transparent in colour, characterised by a graceful floral bouquet, it is very fresh, a thin green thread but elegant and slender in development. Excellent interpretation of the 2014 vintage. 92/100.” Falstaff Magazine: “Bright, bright ruby red with slightly brick-red edge. Stressed fruity in the nose for fresh raspberries, crunch cherries and juicy strawberries. Elegant and fine on the palate, velvety against the tongue, fruity in the drink, with a long finish. A treat! 94/100.”
