The Ricolma San Giusto in Rentennano 2016

From the historic San Giusto winery in Rentennano, an icon of Chianti Classico and a benchmark for the authenticity of its wines, La Ricolma 2016 is an extraordinary expression of pure Merlot, combining the richness of the international grape with the elegance of the Tuscan terroir. The winery, masterfully interpreting an exceptional vintage, has produced a wine with great structure and aging potential, distinguished by its complexity and depth.

Made from pure Merlot grapes, with an alcohol content of 14.5%, the wine has been aged for 20-22 months in French oak barrels. Still young, it presents a complex and layered bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, tobacco, leather, sweet spices, and a balsamic touch. On the palate, it is structured and enveloping, with dense yet silky tannins and a pleasant freshness that guarantees a long evolution over time. The finish is persistent and leaves an impression of great harmony and depth. It pairs magnificently with rich red meat dishes, game, and mature cheeses.
