This impressive Sangiovese comes from the single vineyard "Vitticciana", which was specially created for a pure Sangiovese wine by the "Godfather of Carmignano" Ugo Contini Bonacossi due to its perfect orientation. It is only produced in the best years, when it presents itself as a multi-layered wine with fine fruit and fine-grained tannins. After a few years of ageing in the bottle, it can easily hold its own with some of the best Brunello di Montalcino. SUPERIORE.DE

"From Sangiovese grapes from the Viticciana vineyard, the wine matures for at least 18 months in barriques: surprisingly fresh raspberry nose, flowers, also fine spicy nuances; silky texture, but then also a lot of pressure up to the opulent fruit finish." Vinum

"Bright, brightening ruby-garnet colour. Opens with notes of mint, then lots of ripe cherry, some pomegranate, dried orange. Well-ripened fruit in the attack, spreads out well, savoury, gripping tannin." Falstaff

"A seductive, juicy yet serious Sangiovese with flavours of cherries, dried herbs, bark and peppercorns. It is full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Compact and well-built with attractive fruit in the centre and a characterful finish." James Suckling

"The 2019 Ugo Contini Bonacossi is a real pleasure, with its striking bouquet of white pepper, rose petals, crushed raspberries and sweet lavender. It also impresses with its elegance, silky and smooth with a core of lively acidity that balances the ripe red and black fruits. The finish is structured and long, yet remarkably fresh, with violet flowers and a tart blackberry note on a bed of fine-grained tannins. This wine is simply stunning and full of potential." Vinous

"On the nose there is wild berry fruit and delicate spices, with a sensation of warm, damp earth in the background. The palate is long, tight and direct, with huge depth of flavour and great savoury impact on the finish." Decanter
