CASTELLO VICCHIOMAGGIO

Tannico's collaboration with the historic Castello Vicchiomaggio winery in Greve, Chianti has given rise to Selezione Castello Vicchiomaggio, created with the aim of uniting experience and knowledge of the territory with a more modern and convivial approach to wine, combining tradition and modernity. The wines are made with the undeniable link to the Chianti region that distinguishes John and Paola Matta's company. There were assisted by the Tannico staff throughout the production process, which was carried out as always with professionalism and rigour, without forcing and following natural rhythms as closely as possible, to allow the grapes to express their full potential. The property has about 33 hectares of vineyards, and among the varieties cultivated, Sangiovese, a traditional grape essential to the production of Chianti Classico, stands out above all; other international varieties, such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, are also present. The area is characterised by a hot, humid climate and typical soil rich in clay and large stones, known as marl. At Castello Vicchiomaggio, the vineyards extend along the hillsides on soils rich in large stones and clay; the wines are aged in both wood and barriques. Strongly linked to the terroir, well cared for, elegant, and with great character, these wines are marked by a modern style and have been rewarding the owners for all their efforts for years.
