About this winery

(Vintage 2018)

A rich, layered red with ripe-berry, dark-chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and intense. Flavorful finish. Better in a year or two. Try after 2021.

(Vintage 2019)

Ripe plums and cherries on the nose, together with hints of walnuts and light coffee. Medium-to full-bodied with a silky mouth feel and rich fruit. The very fine tannins give a little pull on the finish. Sangiovese and colorino. Drink now.

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.
