Back for an encore! Another Great Vintage!
Drinking perfectly now!

Back in May of last year, I stayed in San Gimignano which is just 30 minutes west of Arezzo and was surprised to find this gem of a wine!
As I am sure you remember, we featured the 2015 vintage last October. Unfortunately we were not able to fill every request for this wine,
so here is your chance. 

Two months ago I tasted the 2017 vintage
and knew immediately that we had another hit!



 
Tuscany 2017 vintage is…..

93 Points
"Vibrant, elegant wines from a year that began cool, warming from July on;
grapes were harvested under ideal conditions."


Our Thoughts on this wine....
 Dark red in color. Its nose is intense defined by notes of red berries;
blueberries and black currants,
and notes of toasted hazelnuts, spices and a hint toasty vanilla.
Full-bodied palate is well rounded with supple velvety tannins
and dark spices on the long finish.
A treat at an affordable price.

A bit about the green hills, ancient villages and cities of art that make up what is Aretino.....

ARETINE VALLEY MEETING POINT
The confluence point of three of the four valleys that are part of the province of Arezzo, is surrounded to the north by the Casentino, to the south from the Chiana Valley, to the east from the Valtiberina where the first section of the Tiber flows and finally, to the northwest from the upper Valdarno with its characteristic "flounce" landscape consisting of yellow reliefs due to the stratification of clay, gravel and sand that creates striking and colorful scenery.


ARETINO, HOME OF GREAT ARTISTS
But the Aretino is above all the home of great artists such as Petrarca, Piero della Francesca, Michelangelo who have left signs of their art in various sites of the territory. For fans of Romanesque art,the different churches and castles of the territory allow a full immersion in the Middle Ages although several centuries before much of the province of Arezzo was inhabited by the ancient and fascinating population of the Etruscans, testifying to the great importance of the same city of Arezzo in the Etruscan era.
