Sant’Antimo, the latest addition to the Ciacci family, made from Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, is a warm and sensual wine; elegant with the unmistakable character of these grape varieties and, at the same time, the perfect expression of its territory; aged in French barriques for about 1 year, it has an excellent structure and long life.

N/Apts The Wine Advocate– 2016 vintage

FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE
The 2016 Sant’Antimo Rosso Giovanna Ciacci is a well-priced blend of 50% Syrah, 25% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. On my technical sheet, the wine appears to carry the fantasy name Giovanna Ciacci, but the letters in script are so small and difficult to read you might understandably miss them. This informal red blend opens to an inky dark appearance with black and purple highlights. The bouquet is very intense and fragrant with blackberry, plum and exotic spice (thanks to some brief aging in barrique). The wine is soft, rich and smooth on the palate. I will happily recommend this wine if you are looking for a good value buy from Tuscany. Some 20,000 bottles were made.
