Sangiovese
Region:

Wine Type:

Vintage:
1988
This
Vecchia Annata
or "old vintage" bottling by Villa di Vetrice is barrel-aged in large oak
botti
before its release. The Grati family used to sell the wine only locally until Vino's wine director Charles Scicolone and Nicola Marzovilla tasted it at the winery during a now legendary luncheon of
bistecca fiorentina
(Tuscan porterhouse steak) served with green sauce (a heated debate ensued as to whether green sauce is the appropriate accompaniment). Wine ages best in large vessels: the secret behind this wine's longevity is the large-barrel aging. This 100% Sangiovese (essentially a declassified Chianti Rufina) is rich on the nose and remarkably fresh in the mouth. If you like old wine, this juice will not disappoint you.
