Made from old vines and now shown as a pure expression of Sangiovese, it combines power, finesse, and the depth that has made this site one of Tuscany’s most admired cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a deep, concentrated ruby color. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with cherries and blackberries, then unfolding into subtle toasted oak, spice, and a refined earthy complexity.\n\nThe palate is elegant yet substantial, beginning with bright red cherry and raspberry notes before moving into darker berry tones and a long, structured finish. There is impressive depth and balance here, with the kind of tension and persistence that suggests excellent aging potential over many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVigna del Sorbo comes from a single slope in Chianti Classico with ideal south-west exposure, allowing the grapes to ripen fully and develop strong concentration. The vines are around 40 years old, and the wine is made with spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. It is then aged for 24 months in oak barrels, with 50% new wood, adding structure and complexity without overwhelming the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a natural match for richly flavored dishes such as grilled or roasted beef, bistecca alla fiorentina, game, and mature hard cheeses.
