Friday, January 17, 2025

5:00-7:30pm

Join us this Friday for a tasting featuring a wonderful and affordable sparkling wine that makes one think of Spring and sipping mimosas on the patio during the time of year when the wind doesn't hurt your face. Enjoy a medium bodied red that is perfect for pairing with a warm Spring barbecue during those longer evenings when we actually have daylight. We will finish with a rum that brings to mind cocktails by the pool and the only salt and sand that exists is on warm tropical beaches instead of on the roads. Is it Spring yet?

La Lecciaia Rosso di Toscana I.G.T


Country: Italy

Region: Tuscany

Grapes: 100% Sangiovese

Aging: 18 months in Slavonian oak casks

Alcohol: 13.5%


Winemaker Notes: La Lecciaia’s Rosso di Toscana serves up a bouquet of intense violet and cherries with a spicy ending. The deep ruby red color displays a thinning at the rim. The grapes are harvested in the last week of September and first week of October and put in oak casks from Slavonia for a minimum of 18 months. This gives the wine its firm tannins, sweetness and supple and fruit balanced flavor, created by Sangiovese’s lively acidity.


Tasting notes: The Rosso is imminently drinkable, with bright cherry, incense and smoky scents. The wine is medium-bodied on the palate, with fine tannins and good acidity to complement the buoyant fruit. While this is totally enjoyable now, it will age nicely for the next eight years.


James Suckling 90

"Grilled plums, sour cherries, stewed tomatoes and herbs on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Succulent, savory finish." -James Suckling


Pairing: This Sangiovese wine pairs beautifully with traditional Italian foods such as pasta and pizza as well as grilled meats.


Our Price: $12.00
