WINE DESCRIPTION

Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Ateo is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona winery in Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the Montalcino appellation, known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for Sangiovese. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 300-350 meters above sea level, with a south-southwest exposure that ensures optimal sun exposure and ripening of the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels for 24 months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, complex and elegant expression of Sangiovese, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a long, persistent finish.
