Winery - Tenuta Vitanza
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lovely and extremely well-priced, with excellent power and spice behind mature notes of cherry, red fruit, blueberry, almond amaretto, chopped mint and violets. It’s feminine, compact, racy and showcases enormous purity of aromas and flavors.

Vitanza is better known for its excellent Brunello di Montalcino, yet this traditionally styled Chianti also holds its own. The wine is a light shade of ruby with ripe berries and nutty aromas over a delicately structured whole.

Here’s a hearty and hefty Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and Merlot with deliciously penetrating aromas of blackberry, mature cherry, smoke, cola and cedar wood. The wine is soft, chewy and luscious in the mouth with sweet fruit flavors and a long-lasting finish. Pair it with grilled steak marinated with rosemary and garlic.

Thin, compact and easygoing, Tenuta Vitanza’s Chianti Colli Senesi offers well-dosed aromas of wild berries and raspberry backed by light shadings of almond and vanilla. The wine has tart berry flavors and a note of sour cherry on the close.

Here’s a dark and expertly extracted Brunello Riserva from a beautiful family-run estate located in its own microclimate within the Montalcino denomination. The wine shows intense aromas of blackberry, prune, leather, tobacco and spice.

Brunello di Montalcino is celebrated for its amazing capacity to age gracefully. This Riserva has done just that and pours beautifully: Blackberry, espresso, licorice, tar and cola are integrated seamlessly with vanilla, toast and campfire tones. It is velvety, yet firm in the mouth with a long, long licorice-driven finish.

Quadrimendo is almost too much of a good thing, with thick layers of Indian spice, cinnamon, vanilla, toast, cola, prunes, plums and blueberries. It’s concentrated and ripe but its structure is light enough for easy food pairing.

Tenuta Vitanza has done a really nice job to create a modern wine that also embraces Brunello tradition. It exhibits a bright, vibrant color and delivers aromas of blackberry, vanilla, leather and spice. The wine is thickly extracted and inky with soft tannins on the close.

This blend of Sangiovese and Merlot is almost too black, too concentrated and too extracted. Aromas are of blackberry pie and chewy tannins leave a gritty impression in the mouth.

A modern Brunello with dark, inky concentration and toasted wood notes that underscore cracked black pepper, spicy cherry wood, charcoal and chocolate-covered strawberries. As soft, cushiony and velvety as your most comfortable couch, with a powerful tannin punch at the end.
