Albergaccio rosso di Toscana IGT

The Albergaccio is the ancient inn of S. Andrea in Percussina, near San Casciano Val di Pesa, at the gates of Florence, where Niccolò Machiavelli ate his meals and played cards during his exile. Here the writer of “Il Principe” would have usually drunk the “Vino Vermiglio” of the last vintage, made from grapes from his land which, in due course, passed on, through marriage, to the Conti Serristori. The red wine which now bears the name of Albergaccio is the modern version of the traditional Tuscan wine for early drinking.

Drink over the next 2-3 years.
