This is Sangiovese from the Tuscan hills lent incredible freshness and delicacy by a persistent wind which rushes through this old vineyard - fittingly, the name translates as something close to ‘windy hill’. Two years in small chestnut barrels has added body and rounded out those signature Sangiovese chewy tannins perfectly.
Perched in the maritime hills of the Maremma, just above the Tuscan coast, Massa Vecchia is an estate exploring the very outermost reaches of what’s possible with the region’s indigenous grapes. With white grapes almost always under-going maceration and the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea, these are wines of wildly vibrant fruit framed by an unmistakable, hallmark salinity.
