Product Notes

Riecine La Gioia Rosso Toscana is a tantalising Tuscan wine, revered for its rich, bold texture. A magnificent ode to the Italian Sangiovese grape, it radiates an intense ruby hue and bewitches the palate with layers of dense, complex flavours. Decisive hits of lush dark berries interweave with smoky undertones of leather and spiced oak. The wine exudes a persistent, well-balanced acidity, keenly supporting the underlying structure with finesse. Unique, warm notes of cocoa, cured tobacco and white pepper perform an exquisite finale for this full-bodied, velvety red. Riecine La Gioia truly characterises the delightful splendour of Tuscan winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Garnet red robe. An ample and very fine wine with notes of black fruits (blackberry and blackcurrant). Subtle spices greatly supported by velvety and rounded tannins. Long finish on flowers (peony and violet), cocoa and tobacco.
