SALUTE (Health)
Red Reserve 2009 (Super Tuscan style)
A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah.
Wonderfully and refined with compelling acidity.
A steady body wrapped in a vaporous tannin that knows how to seduce every palate. Ethereal and airy, even if the oak is a little accentuated. Within minutes it opens, evoking black cherries and other small, juicy red berries, blackberries, and a potpourri flecked with tobacco.
A well-calibrated wine in which you can sense the Sangiovese delicacy to the last drop. Ends very straight and clean. Very good to enjoy now; in few years it will be great and if you can wait a little longer, it will age to excellence.
But today, it’s a seductive and elegant young red wine that can be paired with many culinary delicacies.
From grilled meats (New York strip, filet mignon) to tagliatelle al ragù with pecorino cheese to a flavorful chicken cacciatore or a delicate fried dumpling soup and many other sophisticated gourmet dishes.
