Matured before and after assembly in oak barrels for a period of at least 12 months
Duca Amerigo, named after the estate’s most prestigious historical owner, is Villa Cosmiana’s
flagship Super Tuscan. It is a classic left bank Bordeaux blend in the taste of the great Medoc made from a balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
Clear and shimmering in its beautiful ruby color, it exudes powerful aromas of black fruits such as
blackberry and blackcurrant enhanced with spicy notes of pepper and tobacco. Velvety, without
grip, although full-bodied, it reveals itself to be powerful, full and extremely long in the mouth.
It is the wine of choice for grilled and roasted meats as well as game.

Description
Duca Amerigo
Duca Amerigo is a tribute to the Duke of Brindisi Amerigo Antinori (1828-1902). Coming from an old Florentine patrician family close to the last Tuscan grand ducal dynasty, he was appointed at the age of 20 chamberlain to Grand Duke Leopold II, a position he held until the latter’s exile in 1859. Fierce resistant to the Piedmontese occupation from his retirement in Villa Cosmiana, faithful against all odds to his protector Grand Duke Leopold II, then to his successor Ferdinand IV, he retired from political life after the annexation of the Grand Duchy by the Kingdom of Italy and faithfully exercised from his palace in Florence, until his death, the office of private secretary and administrator of the private Tuscan property of Grand Duke Ferdinand IV in exile.
