La Maialina Gertrude Toscana Rosso '22

From a high-elevation vineyard in Chianti Classico, this Sangiovese-based blend shimmers with a deep ruby core and violet reflections. The nose erupts with an intoxicating perfume of wild cherries, crushed violets, and fresh-turned earth, evolving to reveal subtle notes of espresso and graphite minerality. The palate achieves perfect tension - flavors of blood orange, licorice root, and baking spices dance across fine-grained tannins with an acidity that earned consistent 93-95 point scores. A blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino aged 14 months in French oak (30% new), this 13.8% alcohol beauty finishes with a minute-long crescendo of red fruit and stony minerality. Decant for wild boar ragù or cellar until 2028+ - the 2022 vintage produced Tuscan reds of uncommon elegance.
