Tolaini Al Passo Toscana 2022

Tolaini Al Passo Toscana 2022 is an incredibly vibrant, polished, and beautifully structured Super Tuscan red wine that captures the meticulous care and unique high-altitude terroir of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Crafted from equal parts Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grown on gravelly limestone soils, it opens with an invitingly complex nose of dark cherries, blackberries, and ripe plums laced with spicy oak, walnuts, and subtle cocoa dust notes. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and impressively balanced, showing a lively, fruit-forward coherence where the bright, acidic backbone of Sangiovese seamlessly intertwines with the plush, rounded texture of Merlot and the robust body of Cabernet Sauvignon. Taut, fine-grained tannins and a crisp line of natural acidity provide a supple frame that guides the wine into a persistent, precise finish accented by lingering details of dried herbs and savory tobacco leaf.

Food Pairing: Pairs brilliantly with classic charcoal-grilled beef burgers, roasted rabbit with wild herbs, rich wild duck with juniper berries, and mature hard cheeses.
