An intense red, with black cherry, blackberry, graphite, tar and toasty oak flavors supported by a dense matrix of tannins. Defined by vivid acidity, which keeps things focused and taut on the lingering finish, this should develop slowly. Cabernet Sauvignon and Pugnitello. Best from 2025 through 2045. 570 cases made, 300 cases imported. (Highly Recommended) ... More details

Produced from equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Pugnitello, the 2016 Ridolfo is only released in magnum. This is the second vintage produced (the first vintage was 2015). It pours a deep ruby with a light garnet tinge and is polished, with intoxicating layers of fresh leather, lavender, sweet balsamic, boysenberry, and black raspberry. It is full bodied and has a velveteen rich texture, with ripe fruit through the finish. Concentrated and powerful in its style while simultaneously exuding graceful elegance, this blockbuster wine from winemaker Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi is not to be missed if you can get your hands on it. Drink 2026-2046.

Region: Tuscany

Tuscany is probably Italy's most important and widely respected wine region, with a history which stretches back almost three thousand years, and a set of fine grape varietals which produce some of the most delicious quality white and red wines in the world. Sangiovese and Vernaccia varietal grapes are grown all over this expansive region, and the way they are handled, aged and processed varies from town to town. The beautiful hot climate of Tuscany helps these grapes reach full ripeness, despite the fact the soil of the region is generally problematic for the vintners who work there. Despite this, there is a dedication to quality and flavor in Tuscany which is more or less unmatched anywhere else in Italy, and a great mix of strong tradition and willingness to experiment and think outside the box which has been a wonderful recipe for success in the region.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
