2020 Poggioargentiera Capatosta Toscana Rosso IGT – Tuscany, Italy – Deep and Wild Sangiovese from the Coast

Coastal Sangiovese at full strength.

Capatosta is Poggioargentiera’s flagship: intense, dark and beautifully structured. Wild berry fruit, balsamic depth and a mineral edge from the Maremma coast.

Tastes like: Blackberry and forest floor, with sage, espresso and a balsamic note.
Feels like: Full-bodied and dry, with firm, drying grip, bright freshness and oak in the background.
Great with: Roast venison, wild boar ragù, beef stew, hard cheeses.
Singapore and Asian favourites: Braised beef brisket, black pepper beef, roast goose.

The geeky bit: 85% Sangiovese, 10% Ciliegiolo and 5% Alicante from sandy coastal vineyards in the Maremma. The Sangiovese is organic.

Accolades: 91 pts Falstaff

Why we like it: A soulful red with layers of intensity.

Serve: 16 to 18°C. Room temperature in Singapore is too warm for red wine, so give it 20 minutes in the fridge first. Decant 30 to 60 minutes.
Alcohol: 14.5%
