Perlato del Bosco shows the broad talents at Tue Rita. They make the Redigaffi Super Tuscan (and Super Priced) Merlot as well as the bargain-priced and delicious Rossi dei Notri. Here’s Perlato del Bosco, a marvelous wine made entirely from Sangiovese and displaying a completely different profile. It is a cut above their excellent Rossi dei Notri, but a similar bargain for what it delivers. It has the lovely firmness and black cherry-like nuances characteristic of Sangiovese, yet paradoxically, it is suave. Elegant, fresh and long, it has a subtle alluring bitterness in the finish. It’s a glorious current choice for grilled steak or lamb chops.
