Tenuta di Ghizzano Veneroso 2018

13.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

Cherry and redcurrants announce the arrival of the Veneroso from the balanced and restrained 2018 vintage. A cool cassis line from the Cabernet swishes though, hinting of mulberry tones and itself being cushioned and criss-crossed with a balanced tension and silken drape from sweetly pure Sangiovese. Unshowy – and demure almost – hinting at a smooth development. Delicious tannins carry the finish like a drying breeze leaving pinpoints of black and red fruits.

“The 2018 Veneroso is bold, punchy and super-expressive. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, leather, dried herbs and menthol lend notable aromatic complexity to this 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon blend. A closing burst of dark red Sangiovese fruit punctuates the finish. This is such a classy wine.” 2024 – 2038
96 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2023

The historical and most representative wine of the estate ( First vintage produced in 1985). Elegant, ripe fruit and mineral content has interpreted the characteristics of the soil where it is born. 70% Sangiovese & 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.
After crushing underfoot the fruit ferments in 3hl wooden vats with wild yeasts before aging for 16 months in 500litre oak. Fruit is organic (certified) and the vineyards have been worked with Biodynamic principles with accreditation from the 2018 harvest.

The hill-top hamlet of Ghizzano lies in the Pisan hills, close to the Tuscan coast. The Venerosi Pesciolini family settled here in the late 14th Century and the estate now encompasses around 350ha with 20ha of vines. Vineyards sit within this gentle landscape at 200m above sea level and are blessed with a mild climate thanks to the maritime influence. Wine has been bottled since 1985, organically certified from 2008 and is moving in a biodynamic direction with concrete eggs a recent addition. The property is now in the hands of Ginevra Pesciolini and her wines continue to gain almost annual Tre Bicchieri awards. As a part of her philosophy of ensuring the wines represent their location Ginevra has also been reducing the amount of new oak in her SuperTuscan creations. Natural yeasts, pressing under foot and a move to using larger format oak are also integral to the style of the wines.
