Riecine 2020 La Gioia Toscana IGT
$121.99
Plum and balsamic notes open with fresh earth and stone, followed by mushroom, grilled meat and a gentle floral lift. The palate is generous and softly ripe, yet assertive acidity and tannin keep the fruit firmly in balance. A savoury, umami-rich middle gives way to a lightly astringent plum-skin note on the finish. Decant before serving with bistecca, braised beef, wild mushrooms or aged pecorino.

About Riecine
John Dunkley and Palmina Abbagnano founded Riecine in 1971 with 1.5 hectares bought from the neighbouring Badia a Coltibuono monastery. They restored the stone villa and old vines, releasing their first Chianti Classico in 1975 from the 1973 harvest. Dunkley championed Sangiovese grown in Gaiole without Cabernet in the blend.
The vineyards have been farmed organically since 2006, with permanent ground cover, mechanical weed control and leaves retained to help shade the fruit. Fermentations begin with naturally occurring yeasts, and the cellar uses unlined concrete, large neutral casks and a mix of older and new oak, according to the wine.
