    In 1090, while Leif Erikson was discovering America and the first universities in Europe were being established, two friends of Abbot Rolando paid "two capons, three loaves of bread and six silver denarii from Lucca" for the annual lease of a vineyard in the divine valley of Dievole. Nine hundred (Novecento) years later, in 1990, this wine was created as a reminiscence of the incredible journey through the centuries. The grapes thrive between 300 and 420 metres above sea level on stony soils of marl, limestone and galestro. The vines, which are on average 15 years old and cultivated organically as in the early days of this domain, undergo a 14-day spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts in cement vats before maturing for 18 months in large, unroasted French Allier oak barrels.

    The intense ruby red colour with garnet reflections reveals aromas of ripe red fruit, blackberries and cherries, interspersed with elegant spicy notes and a hint of tobacco and leather – traces of the time that the wood has given the wine. All the nobility of Sangiovese unfolds on the palate: full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins and a minerality that tells of the ancient soils of the Chianti region. Novecento offers a great texture that is velvety and rich without ever being heavy or sluggish. The spicy finish is long and crisp. SUPERIORE.DE

    "A typical sample of Gallo Nero with bright red, almost tart cherries, fresh violets, liquorice and black pepper. Earthy minerality. The palate is firm with chalky tannins, crisp acidity and a medium body. It will develop well for 10 years, but is already ready to drink." James Suckling

    "Smooth in texture and expressive, this red wine shows flavours of cherry, blackberry, plum and iron. Lively and powerful, with notes of wild herbs and eucalyptus through to a gripping final." Wine Spectator

    "Radiant with raspberries and red cherries, with a hint of cloves and smoky balsamic on the finish. Powerful and full-bodied with a lingering acidity and a long finish." Decanter
