Villa Pillo is a traditional Tuscan Farm, founded in Medieval Times, mentioned in many historical documents. It is located in the heart of the Chianti area, equidistant from the Cities of Pisa, Florence and Siena. From Etruscan times an area read more...through which Trade and Pilgrim routes were established and which formed the " Via Francigena". The nearby towns of San Gimignano , Volterra and Certaldo being of importance in the production of Silk,
Saffron, Alabaster, Terracotta and Glass.
The estate of 500 Hectares was purchased in 1989 by John and Kathe Dyson, whose love of Tuscany led them to embark on a restoration of the Estate which included the Palladian Villa and Park built by the original owner, the Marchese Incontri in the 1700’s. New Vineyards and Olive Orchards were planted and the Winery re-furbished and modernized.Currently 40 Hectares of Vineyards have been planted, positioned on the best sites of the estate to benefit from soil types and aspect.
Newly available grape variety clones and rootstocks have been selected to maximize potential quality. Vineyard vine densities / Hectare combined with specific trellising are designed for low yields of high quality grapes. Because of a strong focus on quality in both the vineyard and winery, Villa Pillo is fast becoming a point of reference in the Tuscan wine world.    (hide)

Some high grade petrol, hint of dark berries, and some leather on the nose. No tannins :( Some spice comes out in the mouth, maybe white pepper. Nothing special in the mouth. I'm pretty unimpressed with this shitty...

Fortunate enough to visit this vineyard - then find the wine in costco - for the price point this is an excellent full bodied super tuscan.
