Villa Pillo’s estate specializes in high quality bottlings of selected vineyards focused on the estate’s main varieties – Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc as well as the Tuscan dessert wine Vin Santo. Extensive manual operations in the tending of the vineyards and throughout the winemaking process result in handcrafted wines reflecting their origin; the hillside slopes of Elsa valley, an area which is found at the center of a triangle formed by the Tuscan cities of Florence, Siena and Pisa.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
