Podernuovo a Palazzone, di Giovanni BulgariSotirio 2020

About this wine

This Sangiovese from Podernuovo a Palazzone captures the essence of Tuscany in a bottle. It's the kind of wine that makes you want to slow down, enjoy a proper meal, and appreciate the simple pleasures of life.

On the nose, you'll find bright red cherry and wild strawberry notes, with hints of dried herbs and a touch of earthy minerality. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and silky tannins that give it structure without being heavy. There's a lovely balance between fruit and savory elements, with a persistent finish that keeps you coming back for another sip.

Serve this at 16-18°C alongside classic Italian dishes like pasta with ragu, grilled lamb chops, or aged pecorino cheese. It's also fantastic with mushroom risotto or a simple margherita pizza topped with prosciutto. This wine is ready to drink now but has the backbone to age gracefully for another 3-5 years if you want to see how it evolves.
