Vinous Eric Guido - 25 Mar 25
The 2016 La Quinta Toscana seduces with a radiant blend of balsamic-spiked black cherries, sage and ground cloves. It's silken in feel with a polished wave of ripe wild berry fruits as hints of cocoa and sour citrus add lovely complexity. The 2016 tapers off with admirable length but also freshness, leaving a pleasantly bitter tinge of licorice and the slightest spiced-orange tone. This is maturing beautifully, with many years of development to come.

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
