Opulent on the palate, the fine tannins wrapping layers of fruit into a smooth, velvety finish — 90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastello Vicchiomaggio traces its origins to the fifth century; the Matta family bought and restored the estate in 1964, and today 32 of its 150 hectares are under vine, farmed sustainably under VIVA certification. The Agostino Petri vineyard sits at 255 to 265 metres in the heart of Chianti Classico, densely planted and Guyot-pruned for low yields on soils with a high share of heavy, water-retaining clay that gives bold Sangiovese. Winemaker John Matta, four times IWSC Italian Winemaker of the Year, fermented the hand-picked fruit in stainless steel with at least 15 days on the skins, then aged it 18 months in second-use French barriques (previously used for La Prima) and large oak casks, followed by four to six months in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood with red meat, lamb, game and cheese.
