Villa da Vinci ‘St.Ippolito’ Super Tuscan 2021

99 POINTS: Luca Maroni 2023
GOLD MEDAL: Berliner Wein Trophy

A Super Tuscan blend of 40% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot & 30 Syrah from around Villa Da Vinci situated high in the Tuscan hills.

"This 99 point Super Tuscan is a wine of exceptional quality, the aromas of blackberries, juicy black cherries, and raspberries fill the glass, accompanied by subtle hints of dried herbs. The wine showcases a velvety and well-rounded mouthfeel, with supple tannins that provide structure and a good grip."

The wines from the Cantine Leonardo da Vinci are inspired by one of the greatest artists of all time, Leonardo da Vinci. The world knows him as a great painter, but apparently he was also an expert on wine and winemaking techniques! In the year 1961, around 30 local winegrowers in the small Vinci town of Italy, got together to establish the Cantine Leonardo da Vinci. Today, this cooperative business has grown tremendously and comprises of close to 200 winegrowers.  More recently these wines were discovered by New Zealand's own Steve Bennett MW, one of only 415 Masters of Wine in the world.  He has picked the eyes out of their range and imported only the best.  We are super happy to be able to bring these wines to our loyal Wine Direct Customers.
