WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Rubio has a brilliant ruby red color with purple hues. Intensely fruity aromas, with notes of cherry, violet, and black currant, followed by spicy notes. Well structured and balanced, with pleasant tannins and great aromatic persistence. The sensations of berries and cherries, typical of the variety, give it great drinkability, in addition to considerable intensity and elegance.
This wine expresses all the radiance and directness of a Sangiovese from Montalcino counting on freshness; it is perfect by the glass, thanks to its versatility, and ideal for outdoor barbecues. Delicious when paired with various kinds of cold cuts, pasta, sausages and grilled meats, medium-aged cheeses such as the famous Tuscan pecorino.
TASTING NOTES:
The nose features primarily savory aromas of drip coffee, tobacco leaf, pencil shavings and old pepper, plus a pop of black cherries for some sparkle. The palate stays savory, with a peppery earthiness joining more coffee, but the tangy black fruit note also sticks around, and ushers in a citrus kick on the finish. Very firm tannins provide structure.
