Riecine, La Gioia Toscana IGT, 2021 so011726 wines to drink in 2026 asimov offer There’s oakRiecine's flagship Sangiovese proves that IGT designation has nothing to do with quality. Hand selected grapes macerate for 1520 days in concrete tanks, then age 24 months in mixed tonneaux and another six months in bottle. The result is a muscular wine from limestone and clay terroir at 450500 meters: firm, velvety tannins, dried cherry and raspberry, tobacco leaf, and an earthiness that begs for cellaring. Drink after 2026 and hold for years.
