Wine Description:
Castello Vicchiomaggio 'Ripa delle More' Toscana is an exceptional wine produced in the renowned wine-producing region of Castello Vicchiomaggio in Greve in Chianti. This innovative blend, deviating from traditional norms, combines Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes. The vineyards boast a planting density of 5,600 vines per hectare, with heavy clay soil and an elevation ranging from 255 to 265 meters. The single Guyot pruning method ensures a low yield of 52 hl per hectare. The wine undergoes meticulous vinification in small stainless steel tanks for approximately 16 days, followed by a two-year maturation in new French oak barrels from distinct cooperages. Ripa delle More is a rich, modern-tasting wine that, while embracing innovation, remains deeply rooted in its Tuscan heritage.
