Toscana IGT Regina di 2020 Renieri

What kind of wine it is

Regina di Renieri is a red wine produced in Tuscany from Syrah grapes. It is characterized by a structured and complex style, which combines intense fruit and deep spiciness with a well-defined tannic texture. The winemaking process enhances the character of Syrah and includes aging in barriques, factors that add volume, balance, and good aging potential. This modern Syrah is aimed at those looking for a full-bodied yet controlled red, suitable for both immediate enjoyment and for cellaring.

Where it comes from

The grapes are sourced from one of the most renowned areas in the province of Siena, in the heart of Tuscany. Here, viticulture benefits from red, clay-rich soils that retain water and support the vines during dry spells. The typically Mediterranean climate, influenced by continental currents, favors steady ripening and maintains aromatic freshness. This environment gives the wine structure, intense color, and a solid flavor profile, with well-present tannins and balanced persistence.

How it is made

After harvest, vinification and aging take place. Aging in barriques integrates spicy and toasted notes and helps stabilize the wine's structure. After barrel aging, the wine is prepared for bottling, preserving its characteristics.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows an intense red color with dark reflections that suggest concentration. On the nose, it offers a clean bouquet, focused on ripe red berries and spices that emerge with aeration, enriched by nuances from barrel aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied and dense, with well-integrated tannins and a broad progression. Freshness accompanies each sip, the persistence is long, and the finish neatly recalls fruit and spice.

Pairings

The structure and intensity of Regina di Renieri make it ideal for roasted meats and grilled dishes, where the tannins are balanced by succulence. It also pairs well with aged hard cheeses, accentuating their savoriness. In Tuscan cuisine, it naturally accompanies Bistecca alla Fiorentina or peposo, and is also well suited to braised game and slow-cooked meat ragouts, offering intensity and persistence.

When to serve it

Regina di Renieri is suitable for important lunches and dinners, when a red wine with character is desired to support rich dishes. It expresses itself best when served at an appropriate temperature for red wines, preferably after a short decanting if opened young, to broaden the aromatic profile and soften the tannic texture. Thanks to barrel aging and its flavor density, it can be cellared and appreciated even after several years of aging, so the time to enjoy it can be adjusted to your pleasure, between freshness and complexity.
