This is one of the most impressive lineups I can remember tasting from Viticcio. The entry-level Bere has always been a tasty, quaffable red, but with more emphasis on keeping the price low than on delivering quality. The 2013 strikes a terrific balance between those two ideals. The higher-end wines are equally appealing, especially the flagship 100% Prunaio. Viticcio is located in Greve, where Sangiovese often shows a profile of darker red to bluish overtones. Readers should expect intense, fruit-driven wines with terrific overall balance and plenty of near to medium term appeal.
