Today Viticcio is owned by the Landini family in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, Greve. Now the winery is managed by Alessandro Landini who, with his family, follows his fathers footsteps. The vineyards are extends to 120 hectares of which all turned to organic since 2013. 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.
Prunaio is a full-bodied, feminine wine, with 100% Sangiovese. Some clones come form Montalcino and partly have already been selected in the company.

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.

Ageing:
Maturation for 16 months in French oak barriques and tonneaux, 50% new.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker’s rating: 91 points)
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.
