Vignamaggio

Tuscan Sangiovese and Merlot from central Italy's storied wine region.

Vignamaggio sits in Toscana, the heart of central Italy's wine country. The winery works primarily with Sangiovese, the region's signature variety, alongside Merlot. Its Gran Selezione Riserva di Monna Lisa Chianti Classico—a Sangiovese-based wine—has drawn attention from major critics including Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. The Merlot and Vignamante, also Sangiovese, round out the portfolio of prestige-rated releases. Tuscan Sangiovese typically expresses bright acidity, structured tannins, and earthy undertones; Merlot brings softer contours and dark fruit character. Vignamaggio's wines reflect the classical approach to these varieties in a region where such expression runs deep.
