The name of the winery and its logo are rooted deeply in the mythological past of the region. The point of origin here is an antique relief from Etruscan times, which shows a winged horse with a fishtail. On the other hand, the name ICARIO relates to an old Greek myth, in which Dyonysos – god of wine and fertility – revealed himself to a mortal man named Icarius and told him to spread the wine culture among humans.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
