Our month of Januarys named for hime, sice it faces both the old and new year. The classic Tuscan Luiano Estate is nestled in a picturesque hillside above the Greve river. This estate has hosted such famous guests as Macchiavelli, Michelangelo Buonarotti and Benvenuto Cellini.
All wines are estate grown and botled, as well as vintage dated.
The vines for the Gold Label Riserva are planted at the Luiano Estate at an altitude of almost 1000ft. above sea level. A bit more Sangiovese is used than in the regular Luiano Chianti Classico. This result in a fuller, richer, more elegant, longer lived wine. It produced only n outstanding vintages. A deep ruby hue, an elegant bouquet, a dry, harmonious taste and a lingering finish.
