Collazzi
Libertà Toscana IGT – 2019
Region: ITALY - TUSCANY
Collazzi
Villa Collazzi is one of the most impressive estates in all of Tuscany. This architectural landmark was originally designed by Michelangelo in 1560 for his friend, Agostino Dini. It offers commanding views of the surrounding countryside. I Collazzi is a property of the Marchi brothers, Carlo and Bona. During the last decade the Marchi brothers invested heavily in the development of Collazzi’s farming business, renewing the vineyards and restructuring the cellar, with the goal of producing excellent wines. Collazzi produces grapes from this esteemed estate only; a super-Tuscan blend called Collazzi, Chianti Classico named Bastioni, and a select few additional bottlings.

Made with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this has aromas of French oak, cedar and black-skinned berry. Lithe and linear, the medium-bodied palate offers cassis, blackberry, coffee bean and ground clove alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Drink through 2025.
