Toscana IGT Tua Rita Perlato del Bosco 1999

The wine

This cuvée is a pure Sangiovese; the grapes are vinified in a stainless steel tank before being aged for a year in French oak casks. Concentrated and dense, it has an opaque visual appearance and aromas of blackberries, very ripe plums, tea leaves and sweet spices. Its opulent, rich flavours alternate between ripe fruit, aniseed and violet. This wine will make a perfect accompaniment for grilled meat and meat in sauce.
