Il Palagio Chianti 2010

In the late 1990s, south of Florence, in the hills of Tuscany, the famed contemporary musician Sting and his wife Trudie Styler began restoring a 16th century villa, gardens, olive groves and surrounding vineyards. Under the careful eye of viticulturist Alan York, one of the world's pre-eminent biodynamic viticulturists, the vines are now producing superior fruit. Winemaker Paolo Caciogrna, who owns the N'Anticchia winery in Etna, Sicily and consults for Altesino and Le Fontiwas chosen for his ability to make beautiful, terroir driven wines that favor elegance over blockbuster style.
