Tenuta di Ghizzano Mimesi Sangiovese DOC Terre di Pisa 2020

The 2020 Mimesi Sangiovese is one of the purest expressions of Sangiovese produced in Tuscany today. Crafted by Tenuta di Ghizzano in the rolling hills of Terre di Pisa, this limited-production wine embodies the estate's philosophy of allowing nature and terroir to speak without unnecessary intervention.

The name "Mimesi" derives from the Greek concept of mimesis—the imitation or expression of an ideal through a tangible form. For Tenuta di Ghizzano, that ideal is the authentic expression of the vineyard, vintage, and natural environment in every bottle.

Produced from 100% Sangiovese grown in a single south-facing vineyard planted more than three decades ago, the grapes are farmed according to certified organic and Demeter biodynamic principles. Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand, with meticulous berry selection before fermentation using indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks.

Rather than traditional oak barrels, the wine matures for 18 to 20 months in Drunk Turtle cocciopesto amphorae—a porous vessel made from ancient Roman building materials that allows gentle micro-oxygenation while preserving the purity of the fruit. This distinctive aging method highlights the freshness, mineral character, and transparency of Sangiovese without imparting oak influence. The wine is then bottle-aged for an additional 12 months before release.

The result is a beautifully refined Sangiovese with aromas of wild cherry, sour cherry, raspberry, dried rose petals, violets, Mediterranean herbs, crushed stone, blood orange, and subtle spice. The palate is vibrant and energetic, offering silky tannins, bright acidity, remarkable precision, and a long mineral-driven finish.

With an annual production of only 1,800 bottles, Mimesi is an exceptional wine for collectors and lovers of terroir-driven Italian wines.
