Tresoro di Riparbella, Costa Toscana IGT 2019

Wine Description for Tresoro di Riparbella Costa Toscana IGT 2019 by Duemani

Colour & Appearance

A seductive cherry red with youthful violet reflections – despite its five years, the wine displays remarkable freshness in the glass.

Nose

Here reveals itself the full complexity of a perfectly matured Bordeaux blend. Dark blackberries and black cherries merge with sloe and mulberries into a concentrated fruit profile. Beneath shimmer dark chocolate, tobacco and leather – signs of noble ageing. Particularly fascinating: the herbal spice of rosemary, thyme and juniper, combined with black pepper and a hint of woodsmoke.

Palate

Powerful yet elegant – like dark velvet this wine envelops the tongue. The density and concentration impress without feeling heavy. Crucial is the refreshing acidity, which together with refined tannins provides balance. The saline minerality lends the wine Tuscan character and makes it irresistibly drinkable.

Finish

Long, persistent and of remarkable freshness. The fruit lingers, accompanied by spicy notes and that mineral tension which distinguishes great wines.

Terroir & Origin

From the biodynamically farmed vineyards of Duemani and Prima Pietra in the Tuscan coastal region of Riparbella. Proximity to the sea lends the wine its characteristic saline note.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Vinified in cement tanks and aged in French barriques – a combination that unites fruit clarity with complexity. The biodynamic farming is reflected in the wine’s vitality.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A wine for discerning meat dishes: perfect with saddle of hare, braised beef, game dishes or warm smoked pigeon. Also a revelation with aged hard cheeses.

Special Features

A masterpiece with outstanding ageing potential. The 2019 already shows impressive maturity, but can easily be cellared for a further 5-10 years and will gain further complexity.
