This is much richer fruited than typical Rancia but it keeps enough tangy Tuscan acidity and tannic backbone to be a highly enjoyable pairing for a stew of lamb and courgettes. Very good.

This was ok with grilled italian sausage, but I haven’t been wowed by the 07 Rancia or Fontalloro. It comes across as rich, and somewhat awkward. This was popped and poured so maybe it would have shown better with some air. I have a couple more bottles that I may forget about for a while.

Light ruby color, still plenty of fruit on the nose. Cherry and plum flavors, wonderful overall.

First of three drank with spaghetti. Still a a lot of sharp acidity. Better after an hour of air. Drink with food.
