✨ Technical Specifications
Villa Da Vinci's Sto Ippolito originates from the historic hills around Vinci in Tuscany, a territory inextricably linked to the legacy of Leonardo da Vinci. Produced under the IGT Toscana designation, this bottling represents a modern interpretation of Tuscan red winemaking, blending native Sangiovese with international varieties like Syrah and Merlot. The vines benefit from clay-limestone and galestro soils, producing grapes with vibrant concentration. After careful vinification in stainless steel, the wine undergoes aging in French and American oak barrels to round its tannins and impart subtle spice.
