2017 Castello Romitorio Romitoro Toscana IGT, Italy, Tuscany, Wine Review
This IGT wine from Tuscany is a blend of 50% Petit Verdot and 50% Syrah. It really is an excellent value. Deep ruby in color. The nose has black cherries, plums, slight cedar and a bit of herbs. On the palate, this is medium bodied with a lovely energy. Lighter in style considering the varietals. Nice black cherry fruit with an underlying earthy/gravel quality. Nice backbone of acidity. Long finish. This drinks well on its own and will work well with pizza or burgers. This should continue to drink well for the next five to seven years.
