On the nose, it offers an intense and persistent bouquet, with hints of cherry and redcurrant, enhanced by nuances of chocolate and a subtle note of black pepper. On the palate, it is distinguished by a \u003cstrong\u003esoft and full structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by balanced acidity and smooth tannins that make each sip fresh and enveloping. The finish is long and clean, ideal for accompanying \u003cstrong\u003epasta dishes with meat sauces\u003c\/strong\u003e, fresh cheeses and rich platters of cured meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the \u003cstrong\u003ehills of Vinci\u003c\/strong\u003e and neighbouring municipalities in the Florentine area, grown at an altitude of between 40 and 130 metres above sea level. The distinctive character of this Chianti is linked to its Pliocene-origin soils, composed of \u003cstrong\u003ealluvial deposits rich in fossil shells\u003c\/strong\u003e. This particular soil minerality gives the wine a remarkable taste persistence and an intense depth of colour. The region's favourable climate ensures optimal ripening of the grapes, while the management of \u003cstrong\u003eCantine Leonardo da Vinci\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances the authentic viticultural vocation of the territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place when the grapes are fully ripe, between late September and early October. The winemaking process involves \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for about eight days, during which fermentation is conducted at a controlled temperature. The use of frequent pumping over and délestage promotes the \u003cstrong\u003eextraction of anthocyanins\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring the wine has a vibrant colour and a pleasant aromatic depth. To preserve its freshness and the integrity of the fruit, the wine undergoes \u003cstrong\u003eageing in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e until March, without any time spent in barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn among the picturesque Tuscan hills, \u003cstrong\u003eChianti DOCG Vitruviano\u003c\/strong\u003e celebrates the perfect harmony between Renaissance heritage and viticultural tradition.
