Leonardo da Vinci Vitruviano Chianti 2024

Leonardo da Vinci Vitruviano Chianti 2024 is a classic Tuscan red that brings together Sangiovese, Merlot, and other red grapes in a balanced, approachable style. Sourced from the historic hills around Vinci, it reflects both the character of Chianti and the legacy of Cantine Leonardo da Vinci, which has worked these vineyards since 1961.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, vibrant red color. The nose is expressive and inviting, with aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, and chocolate, lifted by a subtle touch of black pepper. On the palate, it is soft and harmonious, with polished tannins and a well-rounded structure that keeps the wine lively and easy to enjoy. The finish is long and clean, with enough freshness and fruit definition to suggest good short- to medium-term drinking potential.

Production
The grapes are grown in Tuscany, mainly on the hills around Vinci and the surrounding Florentine area, at altitudes between 40 and 130 meters. The vineyards sit on pliocene-origin soils rich in fossilized shells, which help give the wine its color intensity and persistence. Harvest takes place at optimal ripeness from late September to early October, followed by red vinification with around eight days of skin maceration and fermentation under controlled temperatures. Frequent pump-overs and délestage are used to extract color and depth, and the wine is then aged in stainless steel until March to preserve its fresh, fruity aroma.

Food & Serving
This Chianti pairs naturally with Italian cuisine, especially pasta with tomato-based sauces, roasted poultry, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Serve it at 16–18°C; decanting is not essential, though a short aeration can help the aromas open up.

Producer
Cantine Leonardo da Vinci has been rooted in the Vinci area since 1961 and is closely tied to the wine-growing tradition of this part of Tuscany. The winery takes its name from Leonardo da Vinci, celebrating the region’s cultural heritage while producing wines that are firmly connected to local terroir and craftsmanship. Its Vitruviano range is a tribute to Renaissance spirit and the enduring identity of Chianti.
