Acclaim
“This light-bodied red is ripe and succulent, displaying strawberry, cherry, rose hip and wild herb flavors before firming up and leaving a crisp apple element on the finish.” — Wine Spectator, Oct 2024
“Made with 100% Sangiovese (the R-19 clone that is suited for hot vintages), the 2021 Perlato del Bosco is one of the estate’s most accessible wines that is ready for near-term drinking. This marks its 30th vintage. It reveals bright cherry fruit over a mid-weight mouthfeel with balsam herb on the close. You also get earthy aromas and blue flower followed by a spicy note. There is freshness and some bitterness to the tannins. Sangiovese was planted on this estate before its current owners arrived, and the Tua Rita team added some Cabernet Sauvignon to the blend until the 2002 vintage. It’s been 100% this particular clone of the grape since 2011. Large oak casks are used for aging.” — Wine Advocate, Mar 2024
