2016 Monsanto - Toscana IGT Monrosso

From Monsanto, the 2016 Monrosso Toscana IGT embodies a Monica-style expression that reflects the land and climate of Tuscany.

Tasting notes

• Aromas of bright red cherry and ripe plum mingle with subtle blackberry and a touch of Mediterranean herbs.
• On the palate, the wine presents a medium-bodied profile with gentle, integrated tannins and lively acidity that keep it fresh and food-friendly.
• Flavors echo the aromatics, with red fruit, a hint of spice, and a lightly savory, herbaceous undertone; the finish is smooth and lingering.

Food pairing

Monrosso shines with hearty Italian dishes. Try it with robust pasta sauces (tomato-based ragù), grilled vegetables, or a classic Tuscan meat dish such as roast beef or bistecca alla Fiorentina-inspired preparations. It also pairs nicely with aged cheeses and charcoal-grilled fare that benefit from bright acidity.
