Vinsanto del Chianti Classico – Vignamaggio
A TASTE OF TUSCAN SWEET TRADITION
This traditional Tuscan sweet wine is made from hand-harvested Malvasia Lunga del Chianti and Trebbiano Toscano grapes from the Poggiarelli and Orto vineyards. After a three-month drying period, the grapes are gently pressed and the must ferments and ages for at least four years in small oak barrels (75–100L), followed by six months of bottle aging.
Golden with amber reflections, it offers a rich nose of honey and dried fruits like dates and walnuts. On the palate it is warm, sweet, and full-bodied, yet balanced by refreshing acidity that keeps it lively and long-lasting.
Limited to just 2,500 bottles per year, this is a rare delight best served with traditional Tuscan biscotti, blue cheese, or enjoyed on its own as a meditative wine.
Why try it: because it captures the essence of time-honored Tuscan winemaking in every rich, golden drop.
Perfect for: festive desserts, thoughtful sipping, or a refined gift.

The winery Vignamaggio
The villa of Vignamaggio with its fifteenth-century cellars offers a unique and engaging tasting experience. Here the wine production has a tradition of more than 600 years and the organic farm produces high quality wines, expressing the peculiarities of the different terroirs of the estate. The vineyards, which cover over 70 hectares, are cultivated according to the principles of organic farming and local varieties such as Canaiolo nero and Mammolo are used. In the cellar the entire winemaking process takes place with care, from the selection of the harvested grapes to the refinement of the wine in oak barrels. The wines of Vignamaggio want to express the very essence of the territory, giving a sip that tells the story of these hills. Among the wines produced, the Chianti Classico DOCG Terre di Prenzano stands out, a vintage wine produced solely with Sangiovese grapes and aged in oak barrels from 20 to 40 hectoliters for one year, and the Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Monna Lisa, with a dark purple with ruby flashes, which releases notes of dark cherries, plums and blackberries on the nose, and elegant and fine tannins on the palate.
