Leonardo da Vinci Capolavori Chianti Vergine delle Rocce 2025

Part of Cantine Leonardo da Vinci’s Capolavori (Masterpieces) collection, this Tuscan red blends Sangiovese and Merlot in a fruit-forward, gently spiced style, with oak ageing bringing added depth and balance. Its name and label pay tribute to Leonardo da Vinci’s “Madonna of the Rocks,” connecting the wine to the art and heritage of the hills around Vinci.

Tasting Notes
The nose offers cherry and other red-fruit aromas, complemented by hints of vanilla, cinnamon and pepper. On the palate, lively acidity and soft tannins frame a medium-bodied profile, leading to a persistent finish.

Production
The grapes come from south-facing hillside vineyards between Vinci and Cerreto Guidi, at elevations of around 40 to 130 metres. The soils contain rich Pliocene alluvial deposits with shell fragments. After gentle pressing, the wine undergoes about ten days of skin maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, with short pump-overs and the salasso method used to help extract colour and structure. Following malolactic fermentation, it matures for ten months in French and American oak barrels.

Food & Serving
Enjoy with hearty dishes such as slow-cooked meats, roast lamb or rich tomato-based pasta. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C. A short period in a decanter can help open up the wine, though it can also be served straight from the bottle.

Producer
Cantine Leonardo da Vinci’s Capolavori collection celebrates the art and history associated with Leonardo’s birthplace, Vinci. This Chianti draws inspiration from “Madonna of the Rocks” and the surrounding Tuscan landscape. The supplied producer information cites a 90-point James Suckling score for the 2022 vintage; that recognition applies to that vintage, not necessarily to the 2025.
