5 Sfumature di Vino

On 3 March, at the Ristorante Le Vigne e i Falò, a blind tasting entitled "5 Sfumature di Vino" will be held, an event organised by the Massucco estate in collaboration with EG News, where an expert public of wine lovers becomes the protagonist, for better or worse, of a label's fate.

‍
A dinner with five wines in the glasses, strictly anonymous for the participants, though the 5 labels will be on full display on the board, so that everyone will know which wines they are, but no one will know the order. All accompanied by a delicious menu created for the occasion, to bring out the tastes and flavours of wines sharing one common trait: the uniqueness of native grape varieties.

Marchesi Gondi - Tenuta Bossi has taken up this challenge with the Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG "Villa Bossi 2010", which has always been the emblem of the selection of the finest blends. It could be described as a Gran Riserva or a Grand Cru, or a wine for contemplation. Always the flagship wine, a structured and very long-lived Riserva, it has been produced from these varieties only since 1988.

‍
You will recognise it by appearance, nose and palate alike, and in particular by its Appearance: intense ruby red, with good depth of colour and light purple reflections. On the Nose: a striking nose of cassis and ripe, macerated blackberry fruit, followed by sweet, well-integrated liquorice and vanilla spice with balsamic and toasted nuances. The finish shows notes of cocoa. On the Palate: great structure and character. The wine's fullness is expressed in the roundness and personality of the tannins; the finish is long, with fruity and mineral notes closing on a pleasant hint of liquorice.
