Petit Verdot Lienà 2018: red wine Toscana IGT by Chiappini

The Petit Verdot Lienà 2018 by Chiappini Giovanni Azienda Agricola is a pure Toscana IGT Rosso, designed for those seeking a wine with character, elegance, and an intense aromatic profile. It is made from Petit Verdot grapes grown in the Felciaino vineyard, with careful vinification and aging that enhances structure, depth, and complexity without sacrificing balance.

Territory and style of the wine

This wine expresses the most personal face of Tuscany through an international grape variety that adapts coherently to the territory. The grapes come from vines planted in 1986, and the harvest takes place in the first days of October, when the fruit reaches ideal ripeness. The medium-textured soil with alluvial skeleton contributes to giving momentum and definition, while vinification in steel with natural yeasts and aging for at least 24 months in French oak barriques help build a deep, refined, and harmonious sip.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a dense ruby red color, enhanced by violet reflections. The bouquet is articulated and recognizable, with hints of mint, ripe red fruit, and chocolate, complemented by spicy and mineral nuances. On the palate, the Petit Verdot Lienà 2018 shows great personality, with soft and well-integrated tannins, a balanced flavor profile, and a long, persistent finish. The style is rich but not heavy, with an elegant progression that invites a second sip.

Recommended pairings
