Villa Sant'Anna
Villa Sant'Anna is an Italian winery located in Montepulciano, Tuscany. Founded in 1971 by Giuseppe and Silvana Bianchini, the winery has a history that goes back long before its creation.Over the years, the estate passed from hand to hand, until it was bought by the Bianchini family in 1971. Giuseppe and Silvana Bianchini decided to dedicate themselves to grape growing and wine production, with the aim of creating high quality wines that were an authentic expression of the Tuscan terroir.Their focus on quality and environmental sustainability led them to adopt organic farming methods and to limit the use of chemicals. Thanks to this approach, Villa Sant'Anna was one of the first wineries in Tuscany to obtain organic certification.

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.

Finally, it is aged for a minimum of 24 months, of which at least 18 months in 50 hl Slavonian oak casks.

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.
