Tuscany

Tuscan red with Bordeaux energy, that’s the move here. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Italy’s Tuscany region bring blackcurrant, ripe plum, cedar, and a little savoury herb, all wrapped into a dry 2020 Toscana IGT that feels made for steak night or slow-cooked ragù. If Sassicaia is the famous older sibling, this is the bottle that lets you get close to that world without needing a wine degree.

This is the Super Tuscan that makes Sangiovese feel dressed for a very good night out.
