Vecciano is an outstanding 99 point red to rival far pricier Super Tuscans. It’s lavishly styled with classic Sangiovese and cassis scented Cabernet character. Extended oak ageing ensures the smoothest of tannins and adds complex vanilla spice notes.

A brilliant addition to our range of fine Tuscan reds, Vecciano, from Paolo and Marco Barbanera’s estate in Piazze, is a rich blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are picked by hand and the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months to lend it breathing time to gain complexity. Winemaker is third generation Sofia Barbanera, with assistance from world famous wine consultant Mario Ercolino. Luca Maroni’s acclaimed wine guide named a previous vintage ‘Best Italian Red Wine 2012’ and delivered the following rave review: “A priceless champion red – among the very best reds of the year from Italy and one of the all time Super Tuscan greats.” Decant and serve with roast pork belly or steak with mustard cream sauce.
