Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Dec 19
The 2013 La Ricolma is powerful and explosive in the glass, with huge fruit and equally vibrant tannins. Iron, smoke, dried herbs, blood orange, mint and spice meld together in a virile, imposing wine that still needs years in bottle to be at its very best. It is very clearly a great wine in the making. This fruit was picked on October 2 and 3, which is on the later side of things.

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
