'Message in a Bottle' Toscana Rosso IGT

The message in this bottle is spicy, herbaceous, and red fruited, and whatever else you might need to hear. Aged 12 months in large neutral oak, this is a perfectly centre-cut, straight-over-the-plate Sangiovese, a wine you could train on for blind tasting, and a gorgeous one at that. Dark ruby. Exquisitely ripe notes of plum and cherry and iron buoyed by baking spice and dried herbs. Medium-bodied with firm but fine tannins. The joyful taste of Tuscany, you can almost see that golden Valdarno light with every sip.
