La Caccia di San Giovanni Rosso 2017

The 2017 La Caccia di San Giovanni Toscana Rosso is a sophisticated, deeply elegant, and beautifully structured Super Tuscan red wine masterfully crafted by winemaker Marc Gagnon and sommelier Michael Kennedy. It pours a dark ruby color at its core with a medium ruby rim in the glass, opening with a highly expressive and layered bouquet of boysenberry, wild cherry, and Earl Grey tea leaf, complexed by elegant notes of pure cocoa, cedarwood, and a distinct touch of clove spice. On the palate, this medium-to-full-bodied red is exceptionally silky and fruit-forward, delivering concentrated layers of black currants, dark stone fruits, and mocha. Driven by a vibrant, tongue-tingling acidity and supported by medium-plus, finely sculpted tannins, it transitions into an expansive, polished finish marked by a clean mineral grit and a lingering cassis trail.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with rich and savory meat dishes, such as charcoal-grilled ribeye steak with garlic butter, roasted lamb chops with rosemary, slow-cooked beef stews, wild boar ragù over pappardelle, or an artisan charcuterie board featuring cured meats and aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.
