Winemaker Notes
Il Ghizzano is an easy drinking wine, perfect for everyday consumption, but incredibly rich in personality and fruit. There are velvety berry notes on the nose – cherry and blackberry – with hints of warm spice. It is perfect for any occasion, from a light lunch to a festive dinner.
An easy match for any number of dishes but pairs particularly well with pizza, pasta Bolognese or Amatriciana and various charcuterie and cheeses.

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).

The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
