2014 Perlato del Bosco Rosso

The 2014 Perlato del Bosco is pure Sangiovese and it represents a selection of the estate’s best fruit. The wine is profoundly fruity in character with wild berry, white cherry, plum and a touch of sweet apricot. It shows a charming and easy confidence that will make this wine an easy pairing partner to your favorite Italian pasta dishes. Perlato del Bosco is aged partially in barrique and botte grande. It offers a round and direct interpretation of Sangiovese that is specific to the Tuscan Coast. Give this wine another six months of bottle time.

Tua Rita's 2014 Perlato del Bosco is a very pretty wine for the year. Dried flowers, mint and sweet tobacco are pushed forward. In 2014, the Perlato del Bosco doesn't have its typical breadth and volume, but it has good Sangiovese varietal character and depth, not to mention lovely persistence. The Perlato is a telling example of what was possible in 2014 among modestly priced wines. As good as the 2014 is, I would prefer to drink it sooner rather than later.
