Villa da Vinci S.to Ippolito Toscana IGT 2021 – GOLD MEDAL
The S.to Ippolito – Toscana IGT is born from a careful selection of Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah grapes harvested in the territory of Vinci. From ageing in French oak barriques for 12/18 months, it acquires its characteristic fruity notes of blackberry, cherry and raspberry with a balsamic layer of spices. The attention and care to every detail make this wine balanced, soft and enveloping.

Villa da Vinci San Zio Toscana IGT 2022 – GOLD MEDAL
The San Zio – Toscana IGT is born from the finest Sangiovese grapes cultivated in the Villa da Vinci vineyards. This wine ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature so as to transfer intact the olfactory qualities of the grape variety and the sensory qualities of the vine in its aromas. On the nose it reveals a fruity sensation among which cherry, morello cherry and red fruits emerge, whilst on the palate it proves decisive, soft and elegant.

Villa da Vinci Linarius Toscana IGT 2021 – SILVER MEDAL
The Linarius is born from Syrah grapes cultivated in the Villa da Vinci vineyards. It ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature followed by brief contact with oak for 4/6 months to combine with the intense native notes of blackcurrant and raspberry, spiced notes of vanilla. It is a balanced wine, with silky and enveloping tannins, that reveals aromas of spices and coffee accompanied by hints of red fruit.
