It falls in the center of the Chianti Classico zone, and makes a range of wines from the DOCG, as well as a collection of Maremma Toscana and Toscana IGT wines. The stone tower at Castello Vicchiomaggio dates back to the 1100s and the castle, then known as Vicchio of the Lombards, was first recorded in official documentation from the 15th Century. The castle was an important defensive fortress in the Middle Ages due its strategic location close to the town of Greve in Chianti. The name Castello Vicchiomaggio was adopted during the Renaissance period in tribute to the Maggiolate of Calendimaggio. During its long and elaborate history, Castello Vicchiomaggio has played host to a range of noted historical figures, including Leonardo da Vinci. Today, Castello Vicchiomaggio comprises a total of 34 hectare (84 acres) of vineyards and 10 hectares (25 acres) of olive groves. Sangiovese is by far the most abundant grape variety in the vineyards and is complemented by native grape varieties like Canaiolo and Colorino, as well as international varieties including Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. These vines are planted on south-facing slopes to ensure maximum sun exposure for optimal grape-ripening. In the vineyard, grapes are harvested by hand to prevent excess oxidation. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 12-15 days. The fermented juice is then filtered to remove the grape skins destined for grappa production. After filtration, the juice is placed in stainless steel tanks for the commencement of malolactic fermentation. Depending on the style of wine, aging can last from 8-24 months in French oak barriques and barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-04-03T13:47:59-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-31T12:15:37-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","Other_Wine","Producer_Castello Vicchiomaggio","Region_Tuscany","RK290324","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Chianti Blend"],"price":5695,"price_min":5695,"price_max":5695,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44574366728330,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Castello Vicchiomaggio | Agostino Petri da Vicchiomaggio","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":5695,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/45_6b0112a1-99ac-4779-9af7-ca254bc98b05.png?v=1711901815"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/45_6b0112a1-99ac-4779-9af7-ca254bc98b05.png?v=1711901815","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Castello Vicchiomaggio | Agostino Petri da Vicchiomaggio at CaskCartel.com","id":26600311029898,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.308,"height":389,"width":120,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/45_6b0112a1-99ac-4779-9af7-ca254bc98b05.png?v=1711901815"},"aspect_ratio":0.308,"height":389,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/45_6b0112a1-99ac-4779-9af7-ca254bc98b05.png?v=1711901815","width":120}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2020 | Castello Vicchiomaggio | Agostino Petri da Vicchiomaggio\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark, rich ruby red.
