Vigna Del Sorbo

2000 Chianti Classico Sangiovese

Vigna Del Sorbo, a stunning Sangiovese from the renowned Chianti Classico region, showcases the elegance and complexity this varietal is known for. A deep ruby red color hints at the richness within, while the wine unfolds on the palate with a medium-bodied presence that offers a well-structured experience. The acidity is bright and refreshing, perfectly balancing the wine's fruit intensity, which is notably pronounced, revealing luscious flavors of ripe cherries and plums, complemented by subtle earthy undertones. Tannins are firm yet approachable, adding to the wine's depth without overwhelming it. With a delightful dry finish, this vintage from 2000 has matured beautifully, presenting a harmonious interplay of flavors that reflect the terroir of Chianti Classico, making it a true testament to the artistry of Italian winemaking.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
