Tasting Notes: Bright ruby red. Fresh, fragrant and fruity on the nose. On the palate it is balanced, and pleasantly cool with good persistence.

Food Pairings: Rich red meat dishes, pasta in sauce, or Italian cuisine of all kinds.

Vinous: “The 2020 Rosso Santa Marta, Mocine’s young-vines, Sangiovese-based blend, is an absolute delight. Fresh floral notes add lift to the berry fruit in this attractive, mid-weight Tuscan red.”

James Suckling: “Morello cherries, olives and some black beans here, following through to a full-bodied palate with firm yet creamy tannins and some raw meat and dried herbs in the finish. From organically frown grapes. Give it a year or two to soften more and open up. Drink from 2024.”
