![]() It's the perfect 'American in Tuscany' dream that we would all love to live out: fall in love with the region, have the opportunity to purchase an old property with growing history dating back to the mid-1600s, and establish a new winery that strongly honors tradition. Located in the rugged heart of Chianti near Panzano, The Grace family has converted the property to organics since they founded the winery in 1997, with all the existing vineyards and their new plantings certified since 2010. They also push to have their wines being exclusively Sangiovese, including their Riserva and 'Gran Selezione' bottlings, which is where the 'SoloSangiovese' name cheekily came from for their flagship wine. Dark and dusty Tuscan aromas of cherry and dried red fruits, hinting at leather and licorice that get warmer and somewhat cozy at it opens up. The palate is still very youthful with lots of long but fine tannin that really leans into the dark and dusty side of the fruit at first, but does show some juicier notes over time. Perfect with a hearty meal and/or over the length of an evening.
