Vignamaggio Chianti Classico Terre Di Prenzano
Brand Description
The heart of the company is the vineyards, which cover 70 hectares, with the Sangiovese, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malvasia Bianca and Trebbiano grapes. Today Vignamaggio wines come from 61 vineyard plots grouped into 9 areas. This wealth of territories makes it possible to dream of different wines in harmony with the terroirs. The winemaker Giorgio Marone, who has accompanied the production since 2000 joined by the agronomist Francesco Naldi who has been in the company for 30 years, thus has the necessary foundations to choose whether to create an assembly, which is a harmonious representation of the particularities of each plot, or to enhance a wine from the vineyards with a single identityNOTES OF

“Thanks to the characteristics and potential of the vineyards at Quinta do Seixo, it was possible to cut through the strong maturations of this year's harvest. As a result, we produced very balanced and robust wines, with aromatic notes typical of more mature years.” - Luís Sottomayor, head of Sogrape's winemaking
