Tasting Notes
A bit of a departure from the more typical Tuscan Sangiovese blends which incorporate Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2020 Ricciolo (“curls” in Italian) is a blend of 80% Sangiovese with 20% Syrah.
The wine is matured in stainless steel for 8 months to preserve the fresh, fruit driven aromas and flavours.
We quite enjoy this wine for the deep colour imparted by the Syrah with notes of pepper and purple flowers that are delivered along with the acidity and spicy red fruit typical of the Sangiovese.
