Foglia Tonda, Viticcio

Foglia Tonda is an ancient tuscan grape variety, that was considered extinct for past centuries, but recently rediscovered and today it is one of the rarest varieties in the world. This wine is made from 100% Foglia Tonda grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hands. Aging takes place in small French oak barrels for 12 months before to be refined in the bottle.

Viticcio has been making wine since 1964 among the rolling green hills of Tuscan wine country in Greve in Chianti, between Florence and Siena.

The winery’s vinicultural production began with the desire to capture and embody the potential of Chianti Classico, and it wasn’t long before Viticcio wines became renowned for their true and high quality expression of the Tuscan terroir. Since then, the winery has grown to encompass 120 hectares of estate-owned land among the hills of Chianti Classico and Maremma and it now produces wines from all three of these prestigious territories.

Thousands of years of history lay behind the production of this zone. Grapes have been transformed into wine since the Ancient Etruscans occupied these hills over 2000 years ago.
