Descrizione

The Rosso Toscana IGT Selezione di Ripa delle More, produced by Castello Vicchiomaggio, represents an elegant expression of the Tuscan winemaking tradition. Coming from a territory renowned for its oenological vocation, this wine is born from a skillful selection of typical regional grapes, enhanced by an aging process that achieves a harmonious balance between freshness and structure.

Of intense ruby red color, on the nose it opens with enveloping scents of ripe red fruits, spicy hints, and light floral notes intertwined with sophisticated balsamic nuances. On the palate, it reveals itself full and velvety, with soft tannins and a persistence that invites a second sip.

Perfect to accompany Tuscan cuisine dishes such as roasted meats, aged cheeses, or mushroom-based preparations, this Magnum Astucciato is presented as an ideal companion for moments of conviviality and refined pleasure.
