Flavour Profile
Vecciano is the flagship red from Paolo and Marco Barbanera’s fourth-generation family estate in Piazze, southern Tuscany. It’s a rich blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, all picked by hand and the wine aged in French oak barrels for 18 months to gain lavish complexity. The winemaker is third generation Sofia Barbanera, who works with world-famous wine consultant Mario Ercolino.
Critic Luca Maroni’s acclaimed wine guide has awarded this red an amazing 99 points six vintages in succession, and named it ‘Best Italian Red Wine 2012’, praising it as “a priceless champion red. One of the all time Super Tuscan greats.” The 2021 vintage also boasts two Golds.
This is a fine red that will reward decanting beforehand; try it alongside steak with mustard cream sauce for the perfect match.
