 TASTINGS
New Tasting Coming Soon TENUTA DI RISECCOLI Tenuta di Riseccoli is a private, family-owned estate nestled in the unspoilt hills of central Tuscany, an area famous for the small wineries producing some the world’s outstanding red wines and also renowned for its exceptionally rich artistic and cultural heritage. The Estate now covers 125 hectares, of which 28 ha are in vine. The remainder of the Riseccoli Estate consists of olive groves and Mediterranean forest, home to wild boar, deer, other wildlife and migrating birds. The boar and deer have developed a great taste for the superb grapes! The estate has been the property of the family of the famous Florentine artist Romano Romanelli, since 1902. Aesthetics, attention to detail and quality winemaking are the hallmarks of this prestigious estate. Tenuta di Riseccoli has been a member of the “Consorzio del Marchio Storico del Chianti Classico”, Italy’s oldest winemakers’ association, since 1927. The estate produces three red wines as well a Vin Santo dessert wine and Extra Virgin olive oil of the higest quality. Its Saeculum di Riseccoli wine, a Super-Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, has contributed to establishing this estate’s reputation at the forefront of Italy’s boutique wineries. All the wines bearing the Tenuta di Riseccoli label are created exclusively from grapes grown on the estate. Vinification and bottling take place at the estate’s own cellars. Visits and tastings to the estate can be arranged by appointment. In addition, Riseccoli offers Agritourismo accommodation in 2 tastefully refurbished villas. Please email agritourismo@planetwine.co.nz for more information. Today, the estate is owned by four brothers - the grandsons of the founder Romano Romanelli. They are all achievers who firmly believe that the trilogy: expect more, get more and enjoy more also applies to wine. www.riseccoli.net WINES
Rinascita 2007
Rinascita, which is the Italian word for “re-birth”, a nod towards not only the vibrant youth of this wine, but also the Rennaissance which witnessed the birth of countless masterpieces in Tuscany, is made from the younger vines of Sangiovese planted in 2004, with a small addition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This wine has attractive vibrant fruit. It is soft and graceful and designed for early consumption.  View Full Details
