RKS 2024 Wine: N 10 Fonterutoli 2021 From Tuscany

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, ,

The label sates predominately Merlot but I suspect this being Tuscany there is some Sangiovese in the blend.

Aroma: Given the Merlot and Sangiovese the nose is full of cherry both red and black. Minute bits of blueberry.

Palate: Moderate tannins. On the outskirts acid make this a good sipping wine. Almost singular cherry influence on the palate. Short and heavy finish perhaps a bit dull?

Personality: I am neither a star nor a dud. Reliable but not exciting.

Food Match: A steaming bowl of Ribolitta.

Cellarbility: Might soften a bit but consume by 2025-year end.

Price: $23 CDN.

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 88/100.

(N 10 Fonterutoli 2021 IGT Toscana, Mazzei, Italy 750 mL, 13.5%).
