Tasting Notes
Expect a bright ruby-garnet color, with the freshness and transparency typical of great Sangiovese. The nose is likely to show red cherry, wild berries, dried herbs, violets, and subtle earthy spice, with a mineral edge that reflects its single-vineyard origin. On the palate, this should be elegant and layered, balancing juicy red fruit with firm, refined tannins and lively acidity. The finish is typically long and savory, with mineral and herbal nuances that suggest very good aging potential; this is a wine that can evolve beautifully over the next several years.

Production
Vigna Mezzapiaggia comes from a dedicated vineyard site in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico zone, where the combination of altitude, sun exposure, and well-drained soils helps Sangiovese retain freshness and aromatic clarity. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with careful extraction to preserve the character of the fruit and the identity of the vineyard, followed by maturation designed to build structure without overshadowing the varietal expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with Tuscan cuisine such as bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted lamb, pappardelle with wild boar, mushroom risotto, and aged Pecorino. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opened young to allow the aromatics and tannins to open fully.
