The 2017 Vecchie Terre di Montefili Anfiteatro IGT Toscana is the estate's flagship single-vineyard Sangiovese, sourced from historic vines in Panzano, Chianti Classico. The nose is complex and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry and violet, complemented by notes of dried herbs, graphite, tobacco and subtle spice.

On the palate, it is full-bodied with vibrant acidity, refined tannins and impressive balance. Layers of dark cherry, red currant and blackberry are supported by savoury mineral notes and well-integrated oak, leading to a long, elegant finish. Carefully matured before release, the wine is approachable now with decanting and will continue to develop beautifully over the next 15–20 years.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Tuscan Sangiovese for customers who appreciate structured, terroir-driven wines with excellent ageing potential. Pair it with bistecca alla Fiorentina, roast lamb, braised beef, wild boar ragù or aged Pecorino cheese. Best served after a short decant, with rewarding drinking now or careful cellaring over the next 15–20 years.

About the region

Tuscany

Tuscany, or Toscana, is Sangiovese country. The grape is high in acid and tannin, savoury rather than sweet-fruited, and it changes with altitude and soil: firm and red-fruited in the hills of Chianti Classico, broader and longer-lived at Montalcino where it becomes Brunello. On the coast at Bolgheri the rules loosen and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot take over, and it is there that several of the wines once labelled Super Tuscan were made.
