| LEONARDO CHIANTI ABV 13%
Cantine Leonardo was founded in 1961, and its first vintage was 1965. At the outset the co-operative sold wine in bulk, and it was only in 1971 that they began selling bottled wines. The cooperative has approximately 150 members, whose vineyards are located on the hilly areas around Vinci and Cerreto Guidi. The ethos of quality that has spread through every aspect of Leonardo?s operation since the arrival of Alberto Antonini as consultant winemaker at the end of 1996 remains a key element in their success.
This wine is sourced from a small, hilly area in the commune of Vinci, Cerreto Guidi and a limited number of surrounding communes close to Empoli, half way between Florence and Pisa in the Arno valley. The low altitude of the vineyards gives robust wines, while the proximity of the sea ensures good perfume and balance.
Light, bright cherry red in colour with a fresh, cherry and blackcurrant perfume on the nose. On the palate it combines a delicious fresh fruit character with an attractive savoury quality, soft, supple tannins and a rounded, cherryish finish.
