Vignamaggio's flagship wine is named after Monna Lisa Gherardini – the lady famously painted by Leonardo da Vinci. She was born in the Renaissance villa built by the Gherardini family, who owned the Vignamaggio estate until 1831. 2017 was a difficult vintage, with an early bud-break affected by spring frosts, and then a severely hot and dry summer. Light, leafy scents of sous bois and dark hedgerow berries lead to a concentrated, almost inky palate of crushed dark fruits, tobacco and spice, with some balsamic overtones. Where 2015 was full and generous, 2017 is leaner and a bit reticent, and its tannins are drying on the finish, but there's still plenty to enjoy here.
