Description

Niccolaio di Grillesino represents an elegant example of the Maremma Toscana DOC, highlighting the potential of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety in a territory rich in history and climatic complexity. The vineyards, located among sculpted hills of beauty, benefit from a Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes, which provide the grape clusters with balanced ripening and extraordinary aromatic concentration.

The Niccolaio presents with an intense ruby red color, vibrant and deep. On the nose, it releases complex notes of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and plum, accompanied by delicate hints of cocoa, tobacco, and a light touch of vanilla, a result of skillful maturation in wood. On the palate, it is full, structured, and enveloping, with balanced tannins and a pleasant persistence that invites new sips.

This Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maremma Toscana pairs perfectly with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, enhancing dishes with its intense and refined personality. An ideal choice for those seeking a wine of character and great territorial elegance.

Winery history

A project led by Giancarlo and Saverio Notari that took shape in the late 1990s: the Grillesino estate was established as a production property affiliated with the Compagnia del Vino group and has been developed through vineyard work and expansions of the winery, enhancing selected clones in collaboration with the Università di Agraria di Firenze and the Institut d'Oenologie de Bordeaux.

Production philosophy

Production focused on the typicity of the territory: use of modern winery technologies combined with light filtration treatments to preserve the character of the native grapes; experimentation with clones and varieties to produce wines recognizable as being from the Maremma.

Terroir and vineyards
