2022 Governo

Through generations of winemaking expertise, the wine is a testament to a rich heritage, crafted with the same passion and care as previous generations. Villa Puccini has a long history of providing outstanding wines.

Governo alla Toscana is a traditional way of vinifying Sangiovese grapes. They are harvested at maturity, then undergo fermentation. Additionally, a smaller parcel of these grapes are kept on the vine longer in order to dry and ripen. These grapes are then added to the already fermented wine, causing a second fermentation. The result is a smoother, richer and more structured wine from the second fermentation.

Hibiscus and cherry show on the nose with a slight aroma of grenadine. The palate is complex and rich with notes of plum, black cherry and baked blackberry leading to a structured wine with beautifullly integrated tannins and a long, smooth finish. A perfect match for robust flavors such as hearty stews, grilled chicken, or robust cheese. Will age for the next 3-5 years.

 

2024 La Chaussynette

The Chaussy family is best known for crafting outstanding Châteauneuf-du-Pape, wines that can age for decades, and proudly sit on the finest tables around the world. But great winemakers also know something equally important: Not every day calls for a collector’s bottle. Sometimes you just want a wine that’s delicious from the very first glass to the last. 

La Chaussynette is exactly that.

The estate works organically and bio-dynamically, focusing on expressive, terroir-driven wines that remain true to their Southern Rhone identity.

The 2024 vintage continues this philosophy, offering a vibrant, and fruit-forward expression.

The nose is open and inviting, dominated by fresh red berries such as raspberry and strawberry, alongside darker notes of blackberry and black cherry. On the palate, the wine is smooth, round, and very approachable. The fruit is juicy and forward, carried by soft tannins and a supple texture that makes it immediately enjoyable. This is a highly versatile red, ideal for everyday food pairing. It works beautifully with charcuterie, grilled meats, roast chicken, pasta dishes, and Mediterranean cuisine. Will age for the next 3 years.
