Villa di Vetrice: at the service of tradition

for generations

Leaving Florence, you travel for a few kilometers in an eastward direction and suddenly a new world opens up: the Chianti Rufina hills. On the hills of Rufina you can discover the vineyards of Villa di Vetrice.

In the midst of vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees, a thirteenth-century watchtower rises solemnly, at the foot of which there are manor houses.

The land of Villa di Vetrice has been cultivated for five generations by winemakers who with passion put themselves at the service of tradition. The Villa di Vetrice farm covers an area of 560 hectares, of which 160 are cultivated with vineyards.

The vineyards are located high up, but the clay and galestrous soils are fertile and the wines are elegant and complex.

Nature is a challenge and work requires effort, but it's worth it: grapes of great quality grow here. Those who love Tuscany will especially appreciate Chianti Rufina

Villa Vetrice wines: elegant, complex and quality

The typical Chianti Rufina has an undoubtedly marked character, as much as the landscape in which the grapes from which it is produced grow. But it is precisely this austere note that gives it strength, an intense elegance and also makes it more storable than other wines. It will be able to keep its freshness for years, thanks to the cool evenings of Rufina. The beautiful fruit, the unmarked acidity and the correct tannin balance represent a statement. A wine, a word.

To savor, on the other hand, the Chianti Rufina Riserva, you should give yourself some time. So much so, he too has allowed himself time: two years in an oak barrel and at least another three months in the bottle have given him that ease that must be granted to him and that transmits to him a life experience that now, when fully matured, he will transmit in turn. Slowly, a wine of extreme finesse was created, with a very intense aroma and great complexity.

The Chianti Rufina Riserva Terre di Avanella is a real revelation: it combines the Terroir of a single vineyard with the elegant fruit of Sangiovese. When you go to open a bottle, what emanates is the scent of an ancient oak barrel. Once you have slowly taken in the air you need, notes of ripe berries and cherries are mixed with earth, minerals and

dry complexity.
