Description
2021 Sassi di Lolocco Rosso Toscano IGT
by Fabrizio Pratesi is a compelling 100% Merlot, capturing both elegance and Tuscan vigor. Very wide aromas with hints of red and black berry fruit, chocolate, tobacco, licorice, cassis and evident spiciness, elegant and persistent finish. On the palate it reveals a powerful structure but also a measured balance, a full, fine and equilibrated taste with a silky, dense, voluminous, juicy and balanced tannin accompanied by a fresh acidity extending into long and persistent fruity, floral and spicy notes. Very persistent deep and elegant finish. Aged in temperature controlled stainless steel for about 25 days, the wine offers freshness alongside nuanced depth. It pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, mushroom-studded pasta, or aged pecorino with honey. Fabrizio Pratesi, a natural winemaking visionary in Tuscany, champions low-intervention practices and indigenous varietals, crafting wines like Sassi di Lolocco that express true sense of place with authenticity and finesse.
