About the Wine
Tenuta la Badiola “642” Maremma Toscana Rosso gets its name from the wine’s combination of grape varietals and its geographic location. The wine is comprised of 6 grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Sangiovese and Grenache. The “42” refers to the latitude and location of the vineyard in the southern coastal Tuscan region known as the Maremma. The grapes are organically farmed and vinified, but are not certified organic.
On the nose, aromas of wild berry fruits, like blackberries and dried plum, yield to richer impressions of candied fruit and dark chocolate. Rich and full bodied in the mouth, this wine has tannins that are perfectly balanced and well-integrated. A lively acidity brightens the palate and the long-lived, delicious finish is silky and smooth.
Pairs well with game, steak, and roasted meats as well as aged cheeses.
