2021 Fossetti Rosso Toscana

Ruby robe.

A burst of red fruit on the nose, like putting your nose in a basket of berries with a hint of spice in the background.

The Mocali estate is situated to the southwest of Montalcino at an altitude of 350 above sea level. The estate was acquired by Mister Ciacci Dino in 1956. The company covers about 43 hectares, of which, 16 are vineyards. Immersed in the Mediterranean forests, we see the vineyards of Raunate, flanked by a tall pine forest where you can discover the remains of ancient kilns active in past centuries for the production of lime formed by the high percentage of this stone, locally known as Balsano.

The palate is bright, and the wine tells you right away that it was meant to be drank young, it is vibrant and energetic with nice acidity and a round, fruit filled palate. The finish isn’t coarse, or tannic, but it has a touch of the rusticity of the region, only adding to its charms.

Cheese and charcuterie, grilled cheese sandwiches, Italian subs, pasta.
