Don Vincenzo 2018 IGT

70,00

This wine was born in 1995 from Giovanni B. d'Orsi's dream of being able to best express the uniqueness of the Chianti area, developing a pure Sangiovese that is produced only in the best vintages. It is the result of a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes from a single vineyard "the vineyard of Don Vincenzo". It is the wine that the producer wanted to dedicate to his father, Vincenzo, whose profile appears on the label in perspective opposite to the profile of his first male grandson, who bears his own name. The past generation is indissolubly linked to the future generation through the present one, symbolized on the label by Giovanni Battista signature.

More than any other Sangiovese produced by Casaloste, the Don Vincenzo proposes all the variability that the Sangiovese vine draws from the different climatic conditions of the vintages, exalting them in a kaleidoscope of olfactory and gustatory sensations that makes every year the Don Vincenzo a unique and different wine even if bound by the unmistakable thread of its typicality.
