The winery Azienda Agricola Marco Cincinelli is located in Capolona, in the Chianti Colli Aretini area, a few kilometers north of Arezzo. Climbing up from the Tuscan city toward Casentino Valley, in the hills between the villages of Bibbiano, Botti and Cenina, at an altitude ranging from 200 to 350 meters, opens the wonderful natural amphitheatre in which the lands of the winery extend. Far from all urban and industrial settlements, the Azienda Cincinelli cultivates its own lands: the winery properties extend for about 50 hectares, of which 45 are vineyards and 4 are olive groves alternating with plots intended for planting and wooded areas.

Winemaking

The vineyards of this rare native Tuscan grape variety, the Mammolo, suitable for the production of “Il Legato” cover one hectare and the average age of the plants is 15 years. Wine from a single vineyard at an altitude of 200 mt with clay and limestone soil. Fermentation in steel and ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Bright, brilliant ruby red color. The nose opens sensually, offering a range of aromas reminiscent of small red fruits: raspberry and cassis, sour cherries, which blend sensually with the spicy notes of wild juniper, cinnamon and carcadé. The sip is enveloping, long, harmonious: a true masterpiece. Serve at 18°C.
