Acclaim
“This is so fresh and bright with cherries, plums and hints of chocolate and hazelnuts. Medium body, fine tannins and a delicious finish. Super subtle and long. Polished. Savory. Pure sangiovese.”
— James Suckling, Sep 2018
“Perlato del Bosco shows the broad talents at Tua Rita. They make the Redigaffi Super Tuscan (and Super Priced) Merlot as well as the bargain-priced and delicious Rosso dei Notri. Here’s Perlato del Bosco, a marvelous wine made entirely from Sangiovese and displaying a completely different profile. It is a cut above their excellent Rossi dei Notri, but a similar bargain for what it delivers. It has the lovely firmness and black cherry-like nuances characteristics of Sangiovese, yet paradoxically, it is suave. Elegant, fresh and long, it has a subtle alluring bitterness in the finish. It’s a glorious current choice for grilled steak of lamb chops.”
