Today Viticcio is owned and managed by Alessandro Landini who, with his family, follows his fathers footsteps. Fattoria Viticcio extends for 120 hectares among the hills of Chianti Classico and Maremma. Since 2013, the entire production has been totally organic.All around are woods and also olive trees for the production of extra virgin olive oil. The work in the cellar is still largely carried out manually. Simplicity and cleanliness are essential elements to obtain a wine that expresses at its best the characteristics of its territory.
Prunaiois a full-bodied wine with 100% Sangiovese, that partly come form Montalcino and partly have already been selected by the fattoria. It has great elegance and femininity at the same time.

Denomination:
IGT Toscana

Country of Origin:
Italy

Type:
Red/Rouge (Still)

Grape Variety:
100 % Sangiovese Grosso

Vinification:
The grapes come from vineyards planted with selected clones, managed from the beginning with methods similar to biodynamic. After harvesting, the grapes are then further selected to perform a cold maceration for 72 hours in small stainless steel tanks. A portion of the grapes are not crushed but carry out the whole berry fermentation. This allows more complex varietal aromas to transfer to the wine while at the same time preserving mineral notes linked to the terroir. The malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques and tonneaux of French oak, of which 50% are new, where the ageing continues for a further 18 months.

Ageing:
maturation for 18 months in barriques and tonneaux, of which 50 % are new.

Tasting Notes:
Ruby red colour with great intensity and richness in colours. Complex aromatic varieties, with generous notes of tobacco and hints of black currant, blackberry and liquorice. Great balance, silky and firm tannins, long-lasting taste and aromas. An excellent wine that improves with ageing.
