Podernuovo a Palazzone, di Giovanni BulgariSotirio 2021

About this wine

This Tuscan Sangiovese from Podernuovo a Palazzone shows the bold, sun-drenched character of the 2021 vintage. It's a wine that captures the essence of the region with confidence and depth, perfect for those moments when you want something with real presence.

On the nose, expect ripe dark cherries and plums, layered with hints of leather, tobacco, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is full-bodied and generous, with velvety tannins supporting flavors of black cherry, dried fig, and a whisper of spice. The finish lingers beautifully, leaving you with notes of dark chocolate and a subtle earthiness.

Serve this at around 16-18°C alongside hearty dishes like osso buco, grilled lamb chops, or a rich pasta with wild boar ragù. It's also excellent with aged pecorino cheese. Given its structure and that 15% alcohol, consider decanting for at least an hour before serving to let it open up fully.
