The 2018 Tua Rita Perlato del Bosco Rosso is a distinctive Tuscan Sangiovese from the coastal vineyards of Suvereto, where the influence of the Mediterranean climate brings a unique freshness and aromatic complexity to the variety. Produced by the acclaimed Tua Rita estate, this wine showcases a more contemporary expression of Sangiovese while remaining firmly rooted in its Tuscan origins. Maturation in large oak casks helps preserve fruit purity and vineyard character.
On the palate, it is vibrant and beautifully balanced, with flavours of black cherry, wild berries and plum layered with notes of dried herbs, leather, tobacco and subtle spice. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without heaviness, while fresh acidity gives the wine energy and length. Hints of Mediterranean scrub, violet and earthy complexity emerge through the finish, creating a wine that is both approachable and age-worthy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy Sangiovese with both regional character and modern polish. The combination of vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and balanced structure makes it highly versatile at the table. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to evolve over the next 5–8 years. Pair with grilled lamb, slow-cooked beef ragu, wild mushroom pasta, charcuterie or aged Pecorino cheese.
