San Giusto a Rentennano's Ricolma 2019 is a pure Merlot that defies the boundaries of Tuscany, crafted from five select parcels on sandy, clayey soils in Gaiole in Chianti. The 2019 vintage is considered exceptional in Tuscany, having been awarded 97 points by renowned critic Robert Parker. This deep ruby red wine unleashes an intense bouquet of ripe plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, and sweet spices, with an elegant herbaceous note. Aged for 20-22 months in French oak barrels, it offers a sumptuous and silky palate, with polished tannins and a long, enveloping finish. A rare and seductive Super Tuscan, combining the power of Merlot with the finesse of the Chianti terroir. Production Method: Organic, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks for 14-18 days with maceration on the skins, maturation 20-22 months in French oak barriques (30% new), refinement in bottle for at least 6 months Pairings: Roast red meat, game, mature cheeses
