Description
Still red Chianti DOCG, 13% ABV, produced by Cantine Leonardo da Vinci, a historic Tuscan cooperative. Blend: 85% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot. 1.50L magnum, 2022 vintage. A Chianti that celebrates its connection to the Vinci area, paying homage to Leonardo's genius. The palate is assertive, with tannins that are evident but not astringent and rather soft. The nose, beautifully intense and persistent, is characterized by fruity notes of cherry, followed by subtle spicy hints, particularly black pepper. Deep purple red. Pleasant, intense, and long-lasting, it has a good structure, both gustatory and olfactory, and is decidedly refined.

The original headquarters, restructured and enlarged, are still the operative centre today. The winery is situated in the borough of Vinci, just 5 kilometres from the birthplace of the world famous artist and inventor Leonardo.
The co-operative takes its name from the great man, paying homage to the mind of the man who was universally recognised as a genius and to emphasise its deep-rooted bond with the territory, the same bond which Leonardo felt and whose surname is specifically associated with the village where he was born on 15 April 1452.
Today, Cantine Leonardo da Vinci is a pioneering co-operative, innovative and modern, which relies on the work and grape production of its 160 members. Read more
