A new recognition confirms the excellence of Villa Dianella wines: Matto delle Giuncaie 2022, a pure Sangiovese, has been awarded the Tre Bicchieri 2026 by Gambero Rosso, one of the most prestigious honors in Italian winemaking.

A result that rewards consistent work in the vineyard and cellar, the choice of a form of viticulture that respects nature, and the pursuit of a perfect balance between tradition and contemporaneity.


A wine that tells the story of its territory

Produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes grown in the Buontempi vineyard, Matto delle Giuncaie comes from certified organic viticulture and careful winemaking, designed to highlight the authentic character of the grape variety and the territory of Vinci.

The 2022 vintage, marked by extreme weather conditions and an early harvest, yielded healthy grapes with an ideal concentration for wines of structure and longevity. The result is a deep red wine that brings together power, elegance, and freshness.

Elegance and power in the glass

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals aromas of violet, red and black fruit, with notes of tobacco, licorice, and sweet spices.
On the palate, it is full and vigorous, with a dense yet velvety tannic structure, supported by bright acidity that balances its body. A wine with a deep, harmonious finish, capable of expressing Tuscany in every sip.

A recognition that rewards a clear vision

Following the success of Orpicchio, a Trebbiano biotype previously awarded with Tre Bicchieri, Villa Dianella receives another recognition that confirms the consistency and quality of its production.

“This award,” comment Francesco and Veronica Passerin d’Entrèves, “is the result of teamwork and a vision that brings together tradition and innovation, respect for nature, and a genuine dedication to wine. Matto delle Giuncaie represents for us the most authentic expression of our Sangiovese and the territory of Vinci.”

A wine to discover

Matto delle Giuncaie 2022 aged for 20 months in second-use barriques before being bottled in May 2024. It is available in 750 ml bottles and Magnum format, for those who wish to follow its evolution over time.

A wine that already offers sincere emotion, yet promises to evolve with finesse and growing complexity.
An ideal companion for red meats, game, and aged cheeses, and above all for those who appreciate a glass that truly reflects the land from which it comes.
