Col d'Orcia Rosso Degli Spezieri 2018 |
James Suckling 92 points
Aromas and flavors of black cherries and berries, as well as walnuts and spices. Medium body. Fine, racy finish. I appreciate its tannin and acidity tension.
Deep ruby red with violet hues. The nose reveals hints of rich red fruit, cherry, and black cherry followed by spicy notes. Full and persistent with soft and ripe tannins, long and pleasantly fresh the end.
This is a beautiful, smooth Italian blend at a silly price. A pizza wine has never looked so good.

Spezieri is special
The aroma of Spezieri is earthy, has a subtle tobacco component and going over to ripe plums. The taste is full and balanced between acids and residual sugar, it is fruity and has soft tannins. The wine has a long finish. We had it with a tomato based iranian chicken dish and it was a perfect companion. It would go well with osso buco, with bolognese pasta dishes and whatever is cooked between the Maremma and Bologna.
