More questions
Rosso Toscana IGT Selezione - Amphiarao - Castello Vicchiomaggio embodies the oenological excellence of one of Italy’s most prestigious regions. This wine is born from a careful selection of indigenous and international grape varieties cultivated in the lands rich in history and winemaking culture of Chianti Classico. Its aging takes place in large oak barrels that give the glass structure and harmony, while maintaining an elegant and complex profile.
On the nose, it opens with refined aromas of ripe red fruits, spicy notes, and slight balsamic hints that lead to a full, lively, and enveloping sip. The tannin is soft but well defined, offering a persistent finish that invites the next glass. Ideal paired with grilled red meats, traditional Tuscan dishes, and aged cheeses, this Rosso Toscana IGT represents a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.
