Grifi

Avignonesi is a wine producer in the Montepulciano region of southern Tuscany. The estate was founded in 1974 by the Avignonesi family. It was acquired by Virgine Saverys in 2009, who has expanded the estate significantly. It now comprises 175 hectares of vineyards, and has a new, state-of-the-art winemaking facility. Saverys also established it as a leader in biodynamic winegrowing in the country. Avignonesi is certified organic, biodynamic (Biodyvin) and vegan.

The assembly of two late varieties during a particular Tuscan vintage gives character to this wine. On the nose, the wine reveals notes of blueberries, blackberries, incense, medicinal herbs and sandalwood. With hints of blackberry jam and cinnamon, on the palate it develops like a balsamic explosion supported by a strong acidity. The lively tannin on the whole palate accompanies the savory and persistent finish.
