Product Description

Overview

Winery: Tenuta Vitanza

Vitanza Brunello di Montalcino Firma 2008 is made from 100% Sangiovese.
"Firma" means "signature" in Italian.
Aged for 36 months in 30% French and 70% Slavonia barrels. Aged in the bottle for 6 months.
This wine is the King of all Italian reds.  It is full-flavored, woodsy, and intense with a long finish.  Brunello will correspondingly age for 15-20 years.

"The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Firma is my favorite wine among this group. The cooler, more acidic and austere 2008 vintage is better-suited for the heavy soils of Torrenieri, resulting in a greater sense of balance. Thick lines of ripe fruit, spice and leather set the contours of the wine and more delicate tones of licorice, cola and balsam herb appear as lighter shadings. There’s a touch of jammy sweetness and the tannin is definitely more apparent and delineated in this wine. Drink: 2016-2022.- ML"

The Tenuta Vitanza Estate

The story of Tenuta Vitanza begins in 1994, when Rosalba Vitanza and her soon-to-be husband, Guido Andretta, spent a romantic weekend in Montalcino.

Rosalba has a PhD in Philosophy, and was teaching at the University of Rome, La Sapienza branch. Guido Anderetta was working as an aerospace engineer, running his own consulting business based in the United Kingdom and the U.S.A.

In 1994, they united their efforts behind the purchase of Podere Rensione, a country home with two acres of vineyards. Their first vintage was 1995 and the couple received 93 points from the Wine Spectator. Today, they own 80 acres of vines (not all in production year), and have a long-term goal of 15,000 cases of production. Since 2002, the couple has been building a modern, gravity flow winery, computer controlled, and wi-fi connected, in the town of Torrenieri. The winery has 13 large stainless steel tanks, each signifying a specific vineyard area. Also, the winery has been designed with total traceability, meaning that each bottle is numbered. In the future, you will be able to access their website, punch in the bottle’s number, and receive the following information:

· bottle type

· cork used

· kind of aging & how much time

· vineyard location & exact parcel

· weather that particular vintage
