2005 Chianti Classico DOCG Terre di Prenzano

Villa Vignamaggio, surrounded by an elegant Italian garden in a stunningly beautiful corner of the Chianti countryside, offers an authentic testimony of countrylife during the Renaissance period. The owners, the Gherardini, were a noble family in Tuscany either of Etruscan or Roman origin.

The famous Mona Lisa, daughter of Anton Maria Gherardini, was born at Vignamaggio in 1479.

The wine shows all the class and distinction of the estate's history.
