Tasting notes
The 2016 Veneroso is one of the most elegant wines I have tasted from Ghizzano. Bright, effusive aromatics lift a core of red Sangiovese fruit, all framed by nervous tannins that give the wine its shape. Sweet tobacco, dried leaves, mint, cedar and incense develop later, adding further shades of nuance. The purity of the flavors is simply striking. Magnificent.

Mainly Sangiovese with some Cabernet Sauvignon. Certified organic. Healthy crimson. Sweet, ripe nose – obviously from a warmer terrain than the hills of Chianti Classico. Extremely flattering and velvety with the clear character of ripe Sangiovese. Pretty delicious! Everything in harmony. The texture of a luxurious Napa Cabernet and the tang, flavour and refreshment value of well-grown organic Sangiovese. Very persistent. Well done! GV (JR)
Blueberry and raspberry aromas follow through to a medium body, lightly chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Needs a year to soften. Better in 2020.
