Toscana IGT Re 2020 Renieri

What kind of wine it is

Re di Renieri is a red wine in a Bordeaux-style blend produced in Tuscany. It is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, crafted for a full and structured style. After harvest, it ages in barrique, developing a profile that offers freshness, pronounced tannins, and a long, persistent finish.

Where it comes from

It comes from one of the most prized wine-growing areas in the province of Siena, Tuscany. The vineyards are located on red and clay soils, a terroir characteristic that guides the wine toward structure and depth. In the Sienese context, the Bordeaux blend takes on a distinct and original profile, closely linked to its place of origin.

How it is made

The grapes are harvested and then moved on to the winemaking phases. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of aging in barrique, a process that helps define its aromatic complexity and tannic structure. The choice of small oak barrels suits a full-bodied red, where maturation brings together fruit and sweeter, spicier notes, while preserving good persistence.

Tasting notes

It shows a ruby red color, bright and dense. On the nose, it recalls cassis cream, blackberry, and vanilla, with a fresh component reminiscent of dried sage and violet. On the palate, it is full-bodied with notable freshness; the tannins are structured and accompany a long, defined, and pleasantly persistent finish.

Food pairings

It pairs well with braised red meats, where its structure and tannins stand up to succulence and intensity. It consistently complements slow-cooked meat dishes with rich bases, maintaining aromatic precision and enduring flavor. Try it with braised beef stew to enhance the wine’s persistence.

When to serve it

Serve it when you want a full-bodied red, perfect for a table centered around meat dishes and slow cooking. It’s ideal for occasions where structured tannins, noticeable freshness, and a long finish are desired, making it a reliable choice throughout a complete meal. The aging in barrique and its intense profile make it a solid option whenever you crave a bold and well-defined Tuscan red.
