Perazzeta Rita Sangiovese

From Montecucco, on the southern fringe of Montalcino, comes this stunningly powerful, lush Sangiovese that is, quite simply, one of the best of its kind we’ve had. The zone is able to produce some of the most robust, unctious wines in all of Tuscany, and winemaker Alessandro Bocci takes full advantage of his land’s terroir. Aged in Frenck oak barrels, this wine pushes the boundaries of Sangiovese, re-defining the varietal yet again. Named after Alessandro’s wife AND mother, he said of his wine: “I had no choice but to name it Rita!”
