Tenuta Prima Pietra 2020 is a red wine from the coastal area of Tuscany. This Super Tuscan is a blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and a small portion of Petit Verdot, sourced from vines planted at an altitude of 450 metres on iron-rich clay and rocky soils. Following manual harvest, each variety undergoes separate fermentation using native yeasts in stainless steel and concrete vats. The wine matures for 18 months in French oak barriques, with the final blend created after the initial 10 months of ageing. It presents a vibrant red-purple colour with an aromatic profile of wild red berries, floral notes and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, displaying dense, silky tannins and a persistent, well-integrated finish that reflects the altitude and coastal terroir.

Hauntingly dark and floral, the 2020 Rosso Prima Pietra slowly blossoms with dashes of shaved cedar and clove, giving way to violet-laced blackberry. It washes across the palate with medium-weight and texturally dense waves of tart wild berry fruits. Sneaky tannins add youthful tension toward the close. The 2020 finishes with a black hole of structure, tugging at the cheeks with primary concentration as salted licorice, sour citrus and tart black cherry hints fade. Today, this comes across as a bit of a bruiser, yet there's a feel of opulence lurking beneath, which will only be fully revealed through cellaring. The Prima Pietra is a blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc refined for eighteen months in 50% new French oak. Eric Guido1st February 2023
