Podere Le Ripi "Amore e Follia" Toscana Rosso IGT 2008

A richly expressive wine, the Toscana Rosso IGT 2008 showcases the elegance and complexity of its 70% Sangiovese, 25% Syrah, and 5% Merlot blend. In the glass, it reveals a very deep red colour with alluring purple shadows. The bouquet is striking and layered, offering black fruits like blackberry and black cherry, blended with earthy forest floor notes, pine wood, and delicate hints of white rose and jasmine.

The palate is a masterpiece of texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and a vibrant minerality that enlivens the wine.

With 14.5% alcohol, this wine is balanced and harmonious, perfectly reflecting the excellent 2008 vintage. Now at its peak, it is drinking beautifully, making it an ideal companion for roast meats, aged cheeses, and hearty pasta dishes.
