Description
VILLA MANGIACANE SRL
Villa Mangiacane Estate spans 306 hectares situated between San Casciano Val Di Pesa and Greve in Chianti, at an altitude of 250-300 meters. Of the 43 hectares of vineyards, 15 were planted in the 1980’s with 3500 plants/hectare, and 28 were replanted after 2001 with 5500 plants/hectare. The diversity of soils and exposures, to the East and North East in San Casciano, and to the South in Greve, generate different microclimates and guarantee the production of wines with great complexity and personality.

Globe And Mail Review
Luscious and perfectly ripe, this high-end Chianti comes across with great mid-palate weight, delivering concentrated fruit, a touch of spice and a salty-tang hit on the long finish. The ample tannins are pleasantly sticky. Drinking beautifully now, it should improve with up to 10 years in the cellar. Available in Ontario. by Beppi Crosariol- SCORE: 94
