Riecine La Gioia IGT 2015 750ml

Riecine La Gioia IGT 2015 is a refined Tuscan red wine produced by Riecine in Gaiole in Chianti, showcasing the estate's distinctive interpretation of Sangiovese outside the traditional Chianti Classico DOCG classification.

Made from Sangiovese grown in Riecine's vineyards, La Gioia reflects the estate's commitment to expressing the natural character of the grape through careful vineyard management and traditional winemaking. The wine combines the freshness and savoury character of Sangiovese with the depth and complexity developed through maturation.

The 2015 vintage is characterised by ripe fruit, aromatic intensity and excellent structure. With several years of bottle development, the wine offers a more evolved profile, combining red and dark fruit with floral, herbal, earthy and subtle spicy nuances.

Elegant yet structured, La Gioia 2015 is a versatile Tuscan red suited to fine dining, traditional Italian cuisine and special occasions.
