“Zia Italia 2016” Riserva is a very special wine for our Farm. For the first time in 135 years of operation, we produced a wine aged in oak barrels for 60 months, equivalent to 5 years. In addition, this vintage was one of the best vintages we have ever had, we use to analyze before the harvest the degree of ripeness of our grapes and the parameters of the 2016 vintage were nothing short of perfect: polyphenols, sugars, etc. Thanks to a truly exceptional vintage, we were able to age our Sangiovese for a long time.
This Reserve is really precious to us; we keep only 150 bottles at the moment. We appreciate soft, enveloping wines, and this wine fully expresses our passion for them. Its softness surprises, as does the firm, enveloping character typical of Sangiovese.
Its deep ruby red color, despite its age, testifies to its longevity. Like all wines of character, it improves with time and can also be aged in bottles to refine its aromatic and taste characteristics.
