2021 Tolaini Al Passo Toscana [JS94][WA91]

Producer: Tolaini  Region: Tuscany, Italy  Blend: Tuscan Red Blend Year: 2021  James Suckling, 94 Points  "A beautiful, ripe wine, offering plums and chocolate, as well as tile and walnuts. It’s full and layered with beautiful fruit and caressing tannins. Rock on."  Wine Advocate, 91 Points  "The Tolaini 2017 Al Passo is always an ambitious wine that takes the best of the grapes in its blend: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Each give freshness, structure and textural fiber. Al Passo opens to dark berry fruit and plum, with spice, tobacco and tilled earth. This is a well-priced wine that promises lots of pairings, especially out of a Tuscan cookbook."  Winemaker Notes:  "Spicy notes of oak rise above distinct aromas of cherry and berry. The palate has a backbone of Sangiovese, a roundness of Merlot and enhanced body from the Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit purity and varietal signatures are testament to the meticulous care given to the vines."  Alcohol: 13.5%  *Price and availability in store may vary. Vintage date may differ from pictured.
