Castello Vicchiomaggio 'Amphiarao' Toscana Rosso is an exceptional and sophisticated blend from one of Tuscany's most renowned estates. Crafted under the expert guidance of acclaimed winemaker John Matta, this wine is rooted in centuries of winemaking tradition and a deep respect for both terroir and sustainability. The vineyards stretch across Maremma in southern Tuscany, a region blessed with cooling coastal breezes and sandy, well-drained soils, fostering the development of vibrant, healthy grapes. This carefully balanced blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot is matured in traditional terracotta amphorae, which allow for natural micro-oxygenation and preserve the wine's varietal purity and the distinctive character of the Tuscan landscape.
