Description
La Ricolma 2021 Merlot Toscana IGT Magnum
La Ricolma 2021 Merlot Toscana IGT Magnum is a red wine of great personality signed by San Giusto a Rentennano, made from pure Merlot and offered in magnum format, ideal for those seeking an important bottle that enhances both conviviality and aging in the cellar. It is a label that combines concentration, balance, and finesse, clearly expressing the producer's style and the vocation of the Tuscan territory.
Territory and wine style
Produced in Tuscany as Merlot Toscana IGT, La Ricolma is born from hand-picked grapes at perfect ripeness, coming from vineyard areas particularly suited to the grape variety. The late harvest compared to local customs indicates a pursuit of full aromatic expression and phenolic maturity, while maintaining a line of great precision. The vinification in steel and subsequent aging in French oak barriques contribute to defining a modern profile yet firmly rooted in territorial origins, with an important structure and measured elegance.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a bright and intense ruby red color. On the nose, notes of plum and sour cherry emerge, followed by hints of licorice, violet, chinotto, fern, and forest undertones. On the palate, it shows good balance and coherence, with a round yet dynamic sip, supported by present and well-ordered tannins and an aromatic freshness that extends the tasting progression. La Ricolma 2021 stands out for its depth, energy, and a persistent finish, with a profile that combines fruit richness and expressive rigor.
Recommended pairings
This Tuscan Merlot pairs extremely well with structured and flavorful dishes, such as grilled red meats, braises, roasts, game, and long-cooked preparations. Excellent also with rich first courses, important ragù, pappardelle with wild boar, as well as with aged and flavorful cheeses. Its balance between fruit, freshness, and tannin makes it suitable for recipes that have intensity and succulence, without overshadowing the wine's aromatic nuances.
Serving temperature
It is recommended to serve La Ricolma 2021 Merlot Toscana IGT Magnum at a temperature of 16-18 °C. In the presence of youthful expressiveness or to further enhance the aromatic complexity, a brief oxygenation in a decanter before serving can be useful, especially if the bottle is opened in an important context.
