“La Ricolma” Merlot di Toscana IGT 2021 (BIO)

San Giusto a Rentennano | Tuscany
Fattoria San Giusto a Rentennano| Loc. S.G. a Rentennano | IT 53013 Gaiole in Chianti

After a year's break (2020 was not produced), one of Italy's rarest Merlots is back at the start: the inviting aroma is almost reminiscent of a Burgundy, with notes of raspberries and, only with time, the typical black forest berries and a delicate peppery spiciness. A generous variety of flavours on the palate, power and depth combined with finesse and elegance. Not at all furry, but harmonious, beautifully rounded by ripe, silky tannins and very long. A real rarity - if only because only around 5,000 bottles were filled and it is therefore hardly ever tasted. SUPERIORE.DE

"One of Italy's most cherished Merlots, the organic San Giusto a Rentennano 2021 La Ricolma is stitched carefully together with a very bright fruit note that recalls sweet cherry and crème de cassis. Those softly ripened fruit tones are followed by sweet spice and cured tobacco. The wine hits the palate with power, in part fueled by a 15% alcohol content, but it also fully envelops the senses with soft tannins and rich concentration." Wine Advocate

"The La Ricolma 2021 is a massive, brooding wine. Huge swathes of tannin wrap themselves around a core of dark fruit, leather and liquorice." Vinous
