Fossacolle Riesci Red 2021

A vibrant and approachable red, this wine opens with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, plum, and subtle spice with hints of dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, offering juicy red and dark fruit layered with gentle earthiness and fresh acidity. Soft, rounded tannins provide balance, leading to a smooth, fruit-driven finish with lingering spice and floral notes.

Food Pairing: Pasta with tomato sauce, grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, charcuterie, and semi-aged cheeses.

92 Points - James Suckling

Mocha and cedary oak spices yield some plushness to the rich blackberries and minty blue fruit. Full-bodied and flavorful on the palate with fine-grained tannins and a long, creamy finish. Better in a year or two.
