Toscana Rosso Perlato del Bosco Tua Rita 2023 (750ML)

The 2023 season tested Tua Rita: humid weather brought heavy mildew pressure, and the crop was saved through rigorous pre-selection and careful hand-harvesting. Early-summer rain left the soils damp enough to carry the surviving fruit through a hot late summer, and the wine keeps a light frame and lively acidity as a result. Perlato del Bosco is 100% Sangiovese from 3.8 hectares planted in 2002 just outside the winery, fermented for 10 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel under winemaker Luca d’Attoma and bottled unfined and unfiltered at 13.5%. This is Sangiovese in its coastal register, generous and forward: wild cherry, strawberry and raspberry, mint, tobacco and a breath of Mediterranean scrub over silky tannins. Critics see it drinking from 2026 into the early 2030s. Have it with wood-fired pizza, finocchiona or grilled sausages and peppers.
