Here's another new submission from Riecine, and this time it is an IGT expression of Sangiovese. The 2019 Riecine di Riecine shows wild fruit over a streamlined approach with lots of freshly milled pepper, both white and black. The wine obviously flaunts its cool-climate origins and offers an interesting interpretation of the grape in which freshness is front and center. Only 4,000 bottles were made, topped with white wax capsules.

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.
