Renieri – Re di Renieri – 2021
Toscana IGT – Tuscany, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A Bordeaux-inspired Super Tuscan blend made from organically grown grapes: 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Modern in style but deeply Tuscan in attitude — bold, structured, and expressive.

Aromas & Flavors
Black plum, blackberry compote, cassis, licorice, graphite, and dried herbs, with hints of cocoa and cedar. Dark, savory, and layered.

Mouthfeel
Full-bodied, dry, and punchy with assertive tannins and fresh acidity. Youthful power and drive, but well-integrated structure. Long, spicy finish.

Food Pairings
Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised short ribs, wild boar ragù, aged pecorino, or grilled portobello mushrooms.

Verdict
An impactful, character-driven Super Tuscan that flexes richness, structure, and attitude. Not shy, but compelling and delicious.

Superb with our Margarita Pizza. Big Cherry aromas with the slightest tawny tinge as I poured. Bold flavors with a long finish. Two bottles left! — 10 months ago

This wine is 100% Nerello Mascalese (as are most Etna Rosso wines). Not sure where the folks at Delectable got “red blend” from. Clear dark ruby. Shy but inviting nose of stony black cherry and not so bitter cranberry. All echoed in the medium palate supported by bright acidity (medium plus+) and firm, chalky tannins. Becomes more velvety as the wine opens up. Finish is long and continues the palate highlighting the cranberry and stone aspects with the tannins hanging on to the end. A new Sicilian venture from a premier Tuscan producer yields this excellent example of Etna Nerello Mascalese. Ready for any Mediterranean fare including seafood. Drink now through 2027. — 2 years ago

Light fruits on the nose ripe strawberries, watermelon and a bit medicinal. Not so fruit forward on the palate; quite smooth but this has been open for a day now. Acquired through Molesini Wine Club. — 6 months ago

Delicious wine not heavy or strong like some Montepulciano, this is a light flavorful wine with hints of raspberry. Had this with chicken casserole with fresh thyme and sage in a red wine stock. — a year ago

Had this with pasta alla Trapanese and it paired beautifully. Served a little too chilled but once it warmed there was plenty of fresh berry and a nice melon character on the nose and palate. Finished with a little acidity but very well balanced. Would drink again. — 4 months ago
