On the nose, Le 2 Ville boasts an intense and fruity freshness: aromas of raspberry, cherry and plum, accompanied by a hint of fig. The bold primary bouquet is joined by elegant secondary nuances of roasted notes and vanilla, which result from the ageing process in barriques and give the wine even greater depth and complexity. On the palate it features a lively and well-integrated acidity, medium body and a pleasant finish. It shows outstanding harmony and smoothness.

Details
Hardly any other winemaker has shaped the Italian wine world like Lodovico Antinori. Together with his daughter Sophia, he is presenting the first Le 2 Ville – an elegant blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Ciliegiolo – in its 2023 vintage. The name refers to a historic estate owned by the Gherardesca family, idyllically situated in the hills between Pisa and Livorno. A wine that marks the start of a new era and captures the lively quality of the Maremma.
Recommendations
A versatile accompaniment to Mediterranean meat dishes, wild poultry or mature cheeses. It is also delightful on its own.
Vinification
Le 2 Ville is fermented exclusively in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28°C. After maceration, which lasts around three to four weeks, and malolactic fermentation, the wine matures in barriques for 16 months. The composition varies slightly between Merlot and Cabernet Franc, though the amount of Ciliegiolo, which is matured exclusively in stainless steel, remains a constant 20 per cent.
