Castello di Vicchiomaggio Ripa della More IGT Toscana

Wine information: Vicchiomaggio Castle is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, just 3 Km far from the ancient village of Greve in Chianti, 18 Km from Florence and 38 Km from Siena. The Ripa della More ("The Hill of Blackberries") is a 60% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot blend kept in small barrels (225 lt) for 18-24 months. This is the most full-flavoured of Vicchiomaggio’s wines. Vineyard yields are very low thanks to specific pruning techniques and overall production of this wine is very low. The wine is powerful, opulent and very intense, yet elegant and not overpowering. The colour is deep and impenetrable. Hints of pepper and spices are evident as there are flavours of ripe red fruits, coffee bean and vanilla. Full bodied and vibrant when released, the wine is instantly enjoyable but, due to its power and strenght, has enormous maturation potential. Over the years it will mature into a very complex and satisfying wine.
