Villa S. Anna

Montepulciano tradition speaks through the wines of Villa S. Anna, even though one of the most dependable values within the portfolio happens to be their Chianti Colli Senesi. I descended into the cold cellars with Simona Ruggeri, the matriarch of the family who, with her two daughters, oversees the operation of the winery. These natural cellars have an ancient feel, along with a naturally occurring layer of mold from ceiling to floor. You’d never know they existed from outside the gates of Villa S. Anna, as they are located in the center of the town of Abbadia di Montepulciano. Above these cellars are rooms that house the small barrels of precious Vin Santo that this house is famous for. Mention that you’re visiting Villa S. Anna to nearly any local in Montepulciano, and watch their eyes roll back in their head as they whimsically breathe out the words, “Vin Santo”; yes, it’s that highly revered. The estate uses a classic mix of Sangiovese, Mammolo, Canaiolo and Colorino, including small amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot throughout their range. The wines speak for themselves and have a bit of a throwback feel to them, yet remain fully balanced and satisfying with a distinguishable salty-mineral core that brings the word “sultry” to mind.
