Le Crocine 2022 Rosso Toscana IGT Marzichi Lenzi

Le Crocine 2022 is a Rosso Toscana IGT with an international blend and a well-defined identity, crafted by Marzichi Lenzi. The blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon creates a balanced, modern, and pleasant wine to drink, capable of uniting ripe fruit, varietal elegance, and a fresh, dynamic finish. It is an interesting choice for those seeking a Tuscan red with a harmonious profile, suitable for both the table and more attentive tasting moments.

Territory and wine style

The Toscana IGT designation offers great expressive freedom and allows for the enhancement of an assembly of international grapes interpreted in a territorial key. In Le Crocine 2022, this approach translates into a contemporary red, designed to offer balance between structure, softness, and freshness. The aging in barriques for about 8 months helps refine the wine's profile, adding complexity and a sense of greater overall roundness without overshadowing the character of the fruit.

Tasting notes

In the glass, Le Crocine 2022 presents an intense and deep red color. On the nose, sensations of ripe fruit emerge, accompanied by typical varietal notes of Cabernet Franc, with an aromatic profile that combines maturity and finesse. On the palate, the sip is enveloping, thanks to the velvety tannin of Merlot, yet remains lively and well-supported by the freshness of Cabernet Sauvignon in the finish. The result is a wine with good structure, balanced and smooth, with a clean and pleasant finish.

Recommended pairings

Le Crocine 2022 pairs easily with grilled red meats, roasts, beef tagliata, and flavorful preparations of Tuscan cuisine. Excellent also with pappardelle with ragù, lasagna, light game, and medium-intensity aged cheeses. Its combination of fruit, soft tannin, and freshness makes it suitable for structured dishes that are not overly spicy, enhancing both everyday cooking and a more refined dinner.

Serving temperature

Serve Le Crocine 2022 at an ideal temperature of 16-18°C.
