Oriolo Super Tuscan 2022

Oriolo showcases a rich, dark ruby color. The bouquet is intense, featuring aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and hints of chocolate and tobacco. The palate is robust and well-balanced, with layers of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality. The tannins are firm yet refined, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This wine embodies the innovative spirit of the Super Tuscan category with a beautiful blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Excellent with grilled steak, braised short ribs, or wild boar ragu. Also pairs beautifully with aged Pecorino or dark chocolate for a bold finish.
