Desiderio IGT Avignonesi, Tasting notes:
Explosive olfactory impact. The wide aromatic bouquet ranges from cherry and plum jam to notes of black tea, rhubarb and graphite, with small final notes of fermented tobacco. The palate is invested by the imposing and typical structure of Tuscan Merlot wrapping and warm. Tastefully in symbiosis with the olfactory notes, the dense and linear tannin accompanies nuances of coconut and black pepper in the back.
A 100% Merlot wine that is perfect to pair game meat recipes. Desiderio was a bull who lived on the Le Capezzine farm in Avignonesi more than a hundred years ago. The largest bull in Tuscany at that time, this majestic animal contributed to defining the Chianina cattle breed, specific of the Bistecca Fiorentina. It was a natural choice to dedicate this Merlot to the beloved bull as a testimony of the origin of the wines. This is Merlot from Tuscany at its best.

Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Riserva Bossona Cantine Dei, Tasting notes:
Complex, elegant and balanced structure. Ruby-coloured tending to garnet, with intense and elegant aromas, with hints of violets, underbrush and spices, it has a character of finesse, with firm, velvety tannins and a long, deep finish.
Vino Nobile Riserva Bossona is one of the highest expressions of the Montepulciano DOCG. Its grapes come from the vineyard of the same name, one of the most suitable, planted by Caterina’s grandfather, Alibrando, in 1961. The wine became a Riserva in 1999, with long ageing in wood and in the bottle. Without a doubt it is one of the estate’s flagship wines, a symbol of the elegance and grace of Sangiovese in Montepulciano. The yields are very low (about 40 quintals per hectare) and the wine is bottled with the label Bossona Riserva only in the best vintages. The soil is of Pliocene origin, dating back 2.5-5 million years. It is rich in tuff, skeleton and fossils, which are not only strongly draining, but also give the wine structure and minerality. The Bossona vineyard is one of the sunniest areas of Montepulciano and its favourable exposure allows for excellent ripening of the grapes. The complex composition of the soil is perfect for Sangiovese, and the constant ventilation ensures that the grapes are healthy.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Cantine Dei is one of the most prestigious Italian wines, the first to be awarded the DOCG and it is the perfect example of the expression that Sangiovese takes in the Montepulciano lands. It is mostly Sangiovese, with small quantities of complementary varieties (5%). Grows in a predominantly clayey soil with the presence of sand (tuff), which gives it an intense colour, a full body and the ability to age. The vinification technique consists of soft pressing, fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 26-28°C and maceration on the skins for 15-20 days with pumping over. Finally, it is aged for a minimum of 24 months, of which at least 18 months in 50 hl Slavonian oak casks.

So from a climb on the Poggio and from a descent into the cellar, the idea of making a Cru in Chianti Classico was born for the first time. It was 1962 when the first 6,000 bottles of the Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggio were produced. Of the 72 hectares planted with vineyards, between 260 and 310 meters s.l.m., 56 ha are in Sangiovese, the vine in which the company has deeply believed from the beginning. The Sangiovese clones present in the vineyards come from a mass selection of vines found in the vineyard Il Poggio, “the mother” of all the vineyards of Monsanto. In a small percentage are then present the two historical vines of the Chianti Classico vine: Canaiolo and Colorino.
