This wine is from Italy, Tuscany region, Chianti sub-region and Chianti Classico appellation. Verrazzano's modern-day claim to fame stems from its wines. Wine authority Burton Anderson named it one of a select few estates forming โthe foundation on which Chianti's renewed prestige has been built.โ One hundred and five acres of vines thrive in its limestone-rich soil. Though present in southern areas of Chianti Classico, limestone is unique to Verrazzano in the cooler, northern sector, accounting for the singular blend of muscularity and finesse evident in Verrazzano wines.. Leather, game, blue flowers and ripe, dark-skinned fruit aromas open this full-bodied wine made from the estate's highest vineyards. The palate offers dried black cherry, ground black pepper, clove, thyme and licorice alongside assertive, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. It closes on a graphite note. Drink 2018-2028.. 14% abv. Elegant and complex with closely woven tannins both smooth and pleasant along with notes of fruit and spice oak and vanilla with a long finish SANGIOVESE Wine
