The Colli della Toscana Centrale Rosso Ser Amerigo dei Marchesi Gondi was born in the Villa Bossi estate, located in the renowned Tuscan hills. Born from the vision of Bernardo Gondi, this wine was created to seduce and amaze, thanks to a skillful combination of autochthonous and international grapes. Being the wine with the most American taste , it owes its name to the members of the family who brought the name of the one who discovered the new world, thanks also to funding from the Gondi family to a previous expedition.

It is produced 40% from Sangiovese grapes, 20% from Colorino grapes and 40% from Merlot grapes all harvested and selected manually the first days of the month of October.
