2024 Molino di Grace - Toscana IGT Il Volano (750ml)
The 2024 Molino di Grace Il Volano Toscana IGT merges organic Sangiovese with a calculated proportion of Merlot to create an accessible, medium-bodied Tuscan red crafted for near-term enjoyment. Cultivated on a 20-hectare Panzano vineyard managed through biodynamic protocols, the grapes undergo hand harvesting and indigenous yeast fermentation followed by roughly twenty days of controlled-temperature maceration. Regular punch-downs extract firm yet supple tannins and concentrated color while preserving the fruit’s natural brightness.
Ruby in appearance, the wine delivers core flavors of dark cherry, red currant, and mixed berries, accented by fresh Mediterranean herbs and a subtle eucalyptus finish. The softer tannic structure and lively acidity provide immediate drinkability, making it a practical alternative to longer-aged Chianti Classico bottlings.
Its balanced weight and structured mouthfeel translate directly to the dinner table. Serve alongside traditional ragù alla Bolognese, slowly roasted poultry or game, herb-infused lamb chops, or platters featuring aged Pecorino Toscano and sharp Parmigiano-Reggiano. Released under the broader IGT appellation, this bottling prioritizes food-friendly acidity and approachable fruit maturity, offering a reliable, cellar-ready choice for casual entertaining or everyday Italian cooking.
