Many if not most wines labeled “Toscana Rosso” taste simple and unexciting. They evidence neither the subtle, spicy charm of first-rate Chianti nor the more international intensity of some so-called Super Tuscans. This fairly-priced Rosso, however, is a very tasty exception. Made in a fairly traditional style, it tastes of dark cherries and savory spice, with a dusty, leathery note in the finish, and plenty of zesty acidity for balance.
