Riecine La Gioia 2017
La Gioia is our 100% Sangiovese-based Supertuscan. It’s a blend of the best grapes from various vineyard patches with different soil types. A big and powerful wine. La Gioia is aged 30 months, in new, second and third year tonneaux. It has an internal flavour, with scale and depth, it is the ultimate expression of open hearted full fleshy plum richness of Sangiovese.

Colour

Ruby with garnet reflections.

Bouquet

From an intense embrace of strawberries and cherries, beautiful references to roses and wild berries, vetiver and mineral refoli disappear.

Flavour

Warm and micron-proportioned sip, in which a juicy tannin and icy freshness vibrates. Long persistence.
