Product Description

Overview

Winery: Tenuta Vitanza

Vitanza Brunello di Montalcino Andretta 2007 is made from 100 percent Sangiovese.

Age of the vines: 11 years.
Wine-making: Pre-soaking in a cold temperature for three days; pump-overs following the density and the temperature under computer control.
Aging: 36 Months in large Slovenian barrels.
Bottle refinement: 12 Months.
 

A wine made in dedication from a loving wife to her husband, Andretta opens with dark concentration and generous aromas of dark licorice, cherry fruit, leather, tobacco, teriyaki and spice. The inky color is dark and daunting, but the wine is actually more nuanced and elegant than you’d expect, with balanced acidity and fine tannins.-Wine Enthusiast 94 Points

 

"Sinewy and muscular, this red delivers a core of cherry and plum flavors, hinting at mint and licorice. Stiff tannins corral everything on the moderately long finish. Best from 2014 through 2026. 3,500 cases made. —Bruce Sanderson"

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
