Greve in Chianti is central to Chianti Classico wine production. Nestled around the Greve River, this region is a crucial wine-producing area stretching from Florence to just north of Siena. Viticcio boasts three prominent vineyards here: Mezzola, Colognole, and Belvedere, which together cover twenty-eight hectares. Thanks to the ideal climate, with moderate temperatures and distinct temperature fluctuations between day and night, the grapes here can develop intense aromas and flavors, giving the wines an extra dimension.
Chianti Classico Viticcio is meticulously produced. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks with strict temperature control, and the wine is then aged in medium-sized oak barrels for approximately 12 months. Before release, the wine rests for at least another three months in temperature-controlled rooms.
The Viticcio Chianti Classico is a visual delight with its deep ruby red color. The aroma is a rich blend of red fruit, plums, violets, and tobacco. On the palate, it's a full-bodied wine with a firm structure, complemented by balanced tannins and spicy thyme notes. The flavor is further enhanced by refreshing acidity and a lingering finish with enticing cocoa undertones. A wine that continues to captivate with every sip!
