“The 2011 Perlato del Bosco is soft, open and accessible. This is a textured, resonant style of Sangiovese typical of the Tuscan coast in its breadth and volume. The warmth and resonance of the vintage comes through in spades. Dark red cherries, licorice flesh out on the dark, savory finish. This is a fabulous effort for the year.”

“The 2011 Perlato del Bosco boasts a deep violet color, with only a slight lightening toward the rim of the bowl. The wine was not decanted. Aromas leap from the glass. Forward notes of crushed fruit, new shoe leather, spice and fresh leaf tobacco are prominent. On the palate, the wine is juicy, lively, and vibrant with fresh acidity and a large core of ripe berry fruit. Providing complexity is a noticeable streak of minerality that runs under the fruit. Tua Rita's vineyards are only 100 meters above sea level and the land is dotted with sea shells. On the finish, this delicious wine is long and ripe with added notes of spice and coffee. A tremendous value that drinks well now and should continue to do so over the next 5-7 years. Stock up!”
