Situated on the downward slopes of the highest hills of the Commune of Montespertoli, the territory lies to the south-west of Florence, in the area between two valleys Val di Pesa e Val d'Elsa; a chain of hills in an open and sunny countryside where cypress trees sway in the wind, ploughed fields lie close to woodland or alternate with vineyards and olive groves in a perfect harmony of space and colour.

A stunning Sangiovese-Cabernet blend, the Gigi Rosso is the perfect, low-cost, introduction into the world of Italian wine.

Dark cherry, earth and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, pleasingly rustic and fleshy in tannin, some dried tomato flavour in with sour cherry, and a juicy/chewy finish of solid length. Lots of character and good to drink. Date: Dec 2022; Alcohol: 13.5%; Price: $22; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2022-2024+; Rated: 90 Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
