NV. We were trying to watch a few Oscar nominated movies today, and my daughter wanted a French 75. We liked this drier Prosecco on its own and in our cocktails. I went with an Italian 75 since I had an open Limoncello in the fridge. — 12 days ago

Back in Zurich, eating takeaway Thai outside! Great wine with the curry. Light, dry, mineral. Lemon, floral, pear, apricot, some mint. Dry crisp bitter finish. I had the 2020 vintage a few years ago, but I can’t remember how it compares. — 8 months ago

Bacci Wines — Tesoro della Regina “Il Grande” Toscana IGT 2022 — Toscana, Tuscany. Italy 🇮🇹

Overview:
A classic Toscana IGT red leaning into a more traditional Tuscan expression, built around Sangiovese with supporting international varieties. The style favors bright red fruit, savory lift, and food-friendly structure over plushness, delivering an honest, rustic-meets-polished profile that feels very at home on a trattoria table.

Aromas & Flavors:
Red cherry, cranberry, dried herbs, light tobacco, subtle leather, and earthy spice with a gentle tomato-leaf freshness.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied with lively acidity and firmer, grippier tannins than modern Bolgheri blends. The palate shows linear structure and savory edges, finishing clean and slightly dry, clearly built for food rather than sipping “solo”.

Food Pairings:
Pappardelle al ragù, lasagna, pizza, grilled sausages, bistecca, roasted vegetables, aged pecorino, tomato-based dishes.

Personal Pick:
This drinks exactly how I expect a traditional Tuscan table wine to behave, bright, savory, and structured. Not plush or “international,” but authentic and meal-driven. The kind of bottle that shines with food and disappears halfway through the second course.

Verdict:
A straightforward, Sangiovese-led Toscana delivering freshness, acidity, and classic regional character. More “rustic-charming” than luxurious, and all the better for it.

🍷 Did You Know?:
Many Toscana IGT wines use Sangiovese as the backbone but blend in small amounts of Bordeaux varieties for balance, creating styles that sit between classic Chianti structure and modern Super Tuscan polish.
