Da Vinci I Capolavori San Giovanni Battista Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva 2013 – GOLD MEDAL
San Giovanni Battista Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is produced through hand-harvesting of grapes, where only the finest bunches are selected, and aged for at least 36 months in oak barrels. The attention and care devoted to every detail make this wine unique, silken and enveloping. Soft tannins blend skilfully with an elegant structure, and on the finish balsamic notes emerge. A masterpiece, in name and in fact.

Villa da Vinci Streda – Vermentino Toscana IGT 2021 – GOLD MEDAL
Streda – Vermentino Toscana IGT comes from the finest Vermentino grapes cultivated in the Villa da Vinci vineyards. It displays a crystalline aroma of peach and flowers, which unfolds with softness and clarity of fragrance. This wine ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature so as to preserve intact the olfactory qualities of the grape variety and the sensory characteristics of the vine in its fragrances, pleasantly enveloping and remarkably clear. On the palate this white wine is full, savoury and well-balanced.

Leonardo da Vinci Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva 2015 – GOLD MEDAL
Sangiovese grapes are harvested in the hilly areas of Montalcino and then made into red wine with skin maceration for 15–20 days and frequent gentle remontages. Subsequently, this wine is aged in oak barrels for 36 months. Leonardo da Vinci Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva is distinguished by its deep red colour with orange hues, clear and brilliant. On the nose it presents in a balanced manner, revealing notes of preserved red fruit. This Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva is characterised by its enveloping taste and its long persistence.
