2018 Tenuta del Buonamico 'Cercatoja' Rosso Toscana

Winemaker Notes:  Intense ruby red color. On the nose, intense, with dark fruit and intense flowers notes, cocoa, spices to define the complexity that belongs to the terroir from which it comes from. On the palate, remarkable structure but also nicely of great elegance and depth with a considerable tannin.

The Buonamico Estate is set southwest of Montecarlo, in the Cercatoja area, and it covers a surface of 100 hectares, 48 of which are dedicated to specialized vineyards. The winery was founded by renowned restaurateurs from Turin in the early 1960s, with the purpose of furnishing their restaurant with Montecarlo wines. Today the Estate, owned by the Fontana Family, has expanded in terms of both vineyards and wine cellar. While preserving the essential characteristics of a traditional winemaking style, “Buonamico” has now become one of the Montecarlo’s leading wine producers.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "On the nose, a slightly rubbery earthiness mingles with tart fruit aromas of hibiscus, cranberry, cherry and orange peel. The palate features rounder, richer fruit notes that are bolstered by undercurrents of chocolate and vanilla, before a warm, peppery finish with polished but powerful tannins. "
