Conti Serristori Sangiovese Toscana 2020 is a dry, fragrant, and characterfully Tuscan Sangiovese from one of Italy’s most storied wine estates — a winery with roots stretching back 400 years to the noble Florentine Serristori family, and to the Sant’Andrea in Percussina estate where Niccolò Machiavelli wrote The Prince while exiled from Florence. Ruby red with fragrant aromas of raspberries and wild strawberries; dry, candid, and thoroughly Tuscan on the palate, finishing on nicely lingering notes of blackberries and almonds. Based in Gaggiano at 300 metres above sea level on the Chianti Classico hills, Conti Serristori is a name that connects the world of wine to five centuries of Florentine history.

Dry, candid, and thoroughly Tuscan — raspberries and wild strawberries from the nose following through with the clean, honest character of a Sangiovese from the Chianti Classico hills, finishing on nicely lingering notes of blackberries and almonds.
