Riecine La Gioia IGT 2021 750ml

Riecine La Gioia IGT 2021 is an elegant and distinctive Tuscan red wine produced by Riecine in Gaiole in Chianti. Crafted from 100% Sangiovese, La Gioia showcases the estate's interpretation of the grape beyond the traditional Chianti Classico DOCG framework.

The wine reflects Riecine's focus on organically farmed vineyards, careful grape selection and a natural expression of Sangiovese. The combination of elevated vineyards, limestone and clay soils and attentive winemaking contributes freshness, aromatic precision and refined structure.

The 2021 vintage offers an expressive balance of ripe red fruit, floral character and savoury complexity. Bright acidity gives the wine energy, while fine tannins provide structure and a smooth, polished texture.

Elegant and food-friendly, La Gioia 2021 is well suited to traditional Tuscan cuisine, grilled meats, pasta dishes and mature cheeses.
