Rubesco 2018

- 90 points -

The 2018 Rosso di Torgiano Rubesco wafts up with a darkly floral and dusty expression, as crushed stone gives way to notes of blackberry and subtle hints of exotic spice. This fills the palate with soft, fleshy textures and a pure display of red and blue fruits; grippy tannins amass toward the close. Wild herbs and inner violet tones emerge through the lightly structured finale, along with framing tannins that punctuate the experience nicely. The Rubesco is a classic blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino that should show even better after a year or two of cellaring.
