Fattoria di Poggio Capponi Tinorso I.G.T. Toscana 2018, 0,75 L

Some wines only reveal their true charm after the second sip, captivating you completely thereafter. Tinorso from Fattoria Poggio Capponi falls squarely into this category.

This wine stands shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the esteemed Super Tuscans, yet comes at a fraction of the price. It eschews the allure of prestige, offering instead remarkable value.

In the glass, it presents an intense, deep dark hue, hinting at its profound character. The nose is captivating, boasting aromas of roasted coffee beans, a medley of red berries, and delicate mineral undertones. On the palate, it's richly textured and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and well-balanced acidity. Robust yet harmonious, it features flavours of roasted coffee, vanilla, and a touch of black pepper. The finish is beautifully lingering and flavorful, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship that went into its production.

Ideal with a Bistecca alla fiorentina or other hearty meat dishes, Tinorso serves as a delightful ambassador, showcasing the lesser-known but equally exceptional side of Tuscany to friends and guests alike.
