The nice thing about it: even if you can&#8217;t make it there in person, you can travel to the most colorful wine spots on earth in a relaxed glass, fly around the world sustainably, and pour yourself more adventures in a short time than Indiana Jones would eat up in 20 movies. In addition, you not only discover new countries through the wines &#8211; which always reflect the soil and the environment &#8211; but also get to know your own personal style better and better on your taste journey. In short: I always have a thirst for knowledge. Since this year, I&#8217;ve had a particular focus on Italy &#8211; partly because of my aunt and uncle. They have declared an unofficial Italian year for themselves, and every week when we get together for a family meal, we try out and serve up culinary delights from Bella Italia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying that the emotion of Italy should be uncorked! A fitting occasion to go on a wine journey through Italy together and to add exciting, finely crafted grape soundtracks to the serving playlist &#8211; which taste impressive, but also show how versatile, diverse and multifaceted the country&#8217;s soils and growing regions are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/gentlemens-journey-wein_2-1440x1920.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31344 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/gentlemens-journey-wein_2-1440x1920.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/gentlemens-journey-wein_2-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/gentlemens-journey-wein_2-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/gentlemens-journey-wein_2-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/gentlemens-journey-wein_2.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">The best glass travel views?

This results in four characteristic wines &#8211; the eponymous Bertinga is the estate&#8217;s symbolic wine.

It takes time, oxygen and curiosity to unravel the mystery. The grapes for the cuv\u00e9e are vinified separately, followed by around 18 months of ageing in large barrels for the Sangiovese and in tonneaux for the Merlot, followed by at least four years of ageing in the bottle. The nose is immersed in an elegant, spicy setting of notes of small red and black berries, complemented by spicy and undergrowth nuances and mineral notes, plus a character twist full of tonka bean, before a road trip begins that lays dry and flowing on the tongue. Chocolate and pomegranate come into play, and the final episode is reminiscent of nonchalant whisky. Get involved, stream in, discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bertinga 2017 Toscana<\/strong>, Price: around 45 Euros, for example via <a href=\"https:\/\/bottleofitaly.com\/de\/products\/toscana-rosso-igt-bertinga-2017-bertinga?variant=47636824752466\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bottleofitaly.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser-800x133.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-86fb8bf0ef873d3c90e231cd14ecad6e\">\u201cPoggio Valente 25 anni\u201d Rosso Toscana IGT 2021, Fattoria Le Pupille<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>A Tuscan tango on the red carpet today.

He grew vegetables and bred sheep and cows. On the side, he did some viticulture and bottled his own wine. Later, in her early twenties in the mid-1980s, Elisabetta took care of her first grape harvest on her own. She stubbornly and charmingly asserted herself in the male domain of wine. Today, Elisabetta and Clara cultivate a total of 80 hectares of vineyards around the small village of Peretta. They are spearheading a movement that is establishing the Maremma as a world-class wine region. The winery itself is located in the municipality of Grosseto.

With the first sip, the revs go up and you glide charmingly towards the sunset on a delicately fruity, enchantingly tarred silk road of cherries, chocolate, lavender and vanilla, in the hope that a bottle sequel is waiting there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cPoggio Valente 25 anni\u201d Rosso Toscana IGT 2021, Fattoria Le Pupille<\/strong>, Price: around 32 Euros, for example via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiore.de\/wein\/toskana-maremma\/fattoria-le-pupille\/poggio-valente-25-anni-rosso-toscana-igt-2021.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">superiore.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser-800x133.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-72a1e799a13eba7228a73144d333cc29\">\u201cVilla Gresti di San Leonardo\u201d Rosso Dolomiti IGT 2018, San Leonardo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The approx. 300 year old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanleonardo.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tenuta San Leonardo<\/a> is undisputedly one of the top wineries in Trentino and is one of my favorite wineries &#8211; for both white and red grape soundtracks. A bit like a buoy in the sea &#8211; if it gets stormy and choppy when deciding on a wine, you can always hold on to a Tenuta San Leonardo wine. You&#8217;ll never go swimming with it. In 2001, Carlo&#8217;s son Anselmo Guerrieri Gonzaga took over the management of the family business and has remained true to his father&#8217;s high quality standards. A brief look at the geographical location: the Monti Lessini mountains protect the vineyards in the south of Trento from cold northerly winds and the Mediterranean climate of Lake Garda, as well as the optimal temperature differences between day and night, create the basic conditions for the best possible growth and optimal ripening of the grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Villa Gresti red wine is aimed more at curious newcomers who have their first diploma in hand and want to take the next step with a little more awareness &#8211; at around 28 euros for this Italian glass journey, the Villa Gresti is an absolutely fair value for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">The tailors behind the elegant wine dress codes: Carlo and Anselmo Guerrieri Gonzaga.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1301\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/marchesi.jpg\" alt=\"Tenuta San Leonardo, Italien-Rotwein, Wein\" class=\"wp-image-31203 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/marchesi.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/marchesi-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/marchesi-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/marchesi-800x801.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"706\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/barricaia-1440x706.jpg\" alt=\"Tenuta San Leonardo, Italien-Rotwein, Wein\" class=\"wp-image-31201 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/barricaia-1440x706.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/barricaia-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/barricaia-1536x753.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/barricaia-800x392.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/barricaia.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">Lined up wine adventures are stored in the cellar of the San Leonardo estate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Not just in music: duets have always had a special vibe, haven&#8217;t they?

The Poggio Vico has plenty of temperament, but this cultivated, easy-going red wine shows it off with great aplomb. A red wine for explorers that does not allow itself to get carried away by any aromatic foul play, regardless of whether you let it breathe longer or shorter &#8211; nothing provokes a yellow or red card. However, a little breathing space is highly recommended.

Until you realize that when you get to the craft wine shelf, there are real treasures waiting to be discovered. This is only possible if you approach the matter with an open mind. That&#8217;s why these wines fit so well with the meaning of the journey &#8211; in the glass through Italy, but also in yourself, in terms of your own mentality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/picture_model_61f80358d6ef8a0cd8588f51_1643983996018.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/picture_model_61f80358d6ef8a0cd8588f51_1643983996018.jpeg 1050w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/picture_model_61f80358d6ef8a0cd8588f51_1643983996018-300x100.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/picture_model_61f80358d6ef8a0cd8588f51_1643983996018-800x267.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The wines of Barone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ricasoli.com\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Francesco Ricasoli <\/a>are created on historic terroir in Tuscany, as the estate embodies over 850 years of winegrowing tradition.

Ricasoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio is an almost varietally pure Sangiovese, with just a hint of Cabernet Sauvignon allowed to hop into the sandbox of chalky clay and sandstone and join the fruit salad party. The Gran Selezione comes from the vineyards located 500 meters above sea level directly around the impressively beautiful castle. The grape soundtrack is allowed to make itself at home in French oak tonneaux for 24 months. And during the short winter sleep, the wine gathers a lot of character. The intense aroma of red berries, the typical violet note and a beautiful spiciness is like a deep red sea or a pool of finely spiced jam. Noble, but not too overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">Enjoy consciously: Ricasoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio is a wine that is only produced in the best vintages.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5322-1440x1920.jpeg\" alt=\"Ricasoli Castello di Brolio, Italien-Rotwein\" class=\"wp-image-31235 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5322-1440x1920.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5322-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5322-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5322-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5322-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5322-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>On the palate, this classy red wine is firmly structured, but not overpowering. It&#8217;s more like driving a dynamic car around a Tuscan serpentine, where the tires stay compactly on track. The Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio is very round, spreads out immediately and has a nice dry humor. At first it seems silky, then the red wine glides along, the first sip a street art graffiti of vanilla, strawberry, dried tomato, chocolate with cherry, all with pithy pressure. There is depth, there is length, there is melting &#8211; but all with a seemingly invisible lightness. Be sure to take a deep breath. Every breath gives power, pushes the accelerator pedal harder on the journey, and at the end a flirty, juicy currant note greets you in the closing credits. Really tasty entertainment in a glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ricasoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio<\/strong>, Price: around 44 Euros, for example via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawesko.de\/wein\/castello-di-brolio-chianti-classico-gran-selezione-chianti-classico-docg-100009409\/?articleNo=5838086\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hawesko.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GJ_teaser-800x133.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ccab12ab28787321b66911aeebae0405\">Tenuta di Trinoro Le Cupole 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you heard the saying about building a house, planting a tree, etc.? To the things you should have done in your life, red wine fans would have to add one more point: try a wine from a winery<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vinifranchetti.com\/tenuta-di-trinoro\/\"><strong>Tenuta di Trinoro<\/strong><\/a> . Subjunctive, because: The wines produced according to the Burgundy model not only taste like a tailor-made suit, but are also produced in small quantities and have a corresponding price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Val d&#8217;Orcia near the border with Umbria and Lazio, cult winemaker Andrea Franchetti, who sadly died far too early in 2021, devised and developed some very unusual red fruit salads. The estate owner chose Bordeaux varieties as raw materials &#8211; primarily Cabernet Franc, but also Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a little Petit Verdot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ANFORA-vigna-1440x537.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ANFORA-vigna-1440x537.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ANFORA-vigna-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ANFORA-vigna-1536x573.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ANFORA-vigna-800x298.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ANFORA-vigna.jpg 1834w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the winery also has a small beginner&#8217;s edition for advanced drinkers. But this is also a case for the festive budget, to be fair. The Cuv\u00e9e Le Cupole, made from Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, is, like its bigger siblings, not a wine for every day, but a holiday treat for aroma and taste hunters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5579_jpg-1440x1920.jpeg\" alt=\"Tenuta di Trinoro Le Cupole 2021, Italien-Rotwein, Wein\" class=\"wp-image-31245 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5579_jpg-1440x1920.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5579_jpg-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5579_jpg-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5579_jpg-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5579_jpg-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/gentlemens-journey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_5579_jpg-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">An Italian red wine for explorers, where everything is in the green zone.

Imagine closing your eyes, dreaming yourself away to a small cottage on a Tuscan hill, going out onto the terrace, leaning back on a comfortable, deep couch and sinking into a blanket of dark fruits, leather, grilled herbs, lavender, cherries, blackberries, plums and dark chocolate. A bit like a dark sauce that has been preserved for days, in which veal cheeks would be bathed to braise. But the whole thing comes in a flowing, relaxed dress code. Which also applies to the taste. For curious explorers, the red wine enters the palate more like a nonchalantly chipped flank of Andrea Pirlo, finely accentuated texture, dense, but not overwhelming, rather pulling you along, thanks to a beautiful juiciness that joins in with a grin.

Not really shy, rather politely waiting to see how the first breaths in the glass club turn out, it slowly taps onto the dance floor with a finely spiced soundtrack of strawberry, black cherries, raspberries and violets.

The vineyards are located at an altitude of between 350 and 520 meters above sea level and the vineyards run in an arc from east to south and then west. The majority of the vines are red grapes, among which Sangiovese stands out, flanked by Canaiolo, Colorino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Merlot and other indigenous varieties. The white grape varieties include Malvasia del Chianti, Trebbiano Toscano, San Colombano and Chardonnay.

The Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 from the Castello di Querceto winery reminds me of music by The Weeknd. 80s vibes, but the vine soundtrack comes around the corner with a hypnotizingly modern soundtrack. On the nose, the Sangiovese lays down elegant, finely spiced beats like a spray of cherry, blackberry, gingerbread or chocolate on the dance floor. Relaxed, but with a marching tempo. The longer you listen to it in the glass, the denser and more mellow it becomes, without becoming stale. The red wine has a fine, nonchalant temperament, fresh notes keep knocking, dark fruit determines the chorus. After a hook of redcurrant, a juiciness spreads, a drum set of olives or juniper, a forward pull. An elegant but drinkable wine for just under 20 euros, with hints of a Tuscan earworm.
