When you say “Tuscany,” Sangiovese immediately comes to mind. At Icario, this grape is given an approachable, lively expression in the 2021 Rosso di Montepulciano. The wine comes from the area around Montepulciano, where the better-known Vino Nobile is also produced. However, Rosso di Montepulciano has its own designation of origin and is often meant to be enjoyed while still young.
2021 saw a warm growing season in various parts of Tuscany, with water availability playing a key role. Its origins near Montepulciano and the decision to produce a Rosso meant to be enjoyed young give this wine its own place alongside the heavier Vino Nobile. The name Montepulciano here refers to the town, not to the grape variety of the same name.
Red cherries and other fresh red fruits form the core of its character. A hint of spice and lively acidity give the wine a typical Tuscan vibrancy. The tannins support the flavor without overpowering the fruit. This makes this Rosso appealing to those looking for a wine that is enjoyable both on its own and with a meal.
Serve it with pasta in tomato sauce, oven-baked pizza, or a platter of Italian charcuterie. Served slightly chilled, its fresh notes really come through. If you’d like to explore the character of Sangiovese further, try comparing this wine to a Chianti Classico from the same vintage. That way, you’ll discover how the terroir influences the character of a single grape variety.
