A pure expression of Sangiovese, the Tua Rita 2019 Perlato del Bosco comes from what Stefano Frascolla calls "an odd but ultimately very easy vintage" in terms of farming. This is a historic entry-level red that has been made since 1992 and is closing in on its 30th anniversary. The wood regime that favors large oak cask was tweaked in 2002, and the wine delivers lots of primary intensity and varietal purity in its current incarnation. This is one of the most Sangiovese-tasting Sangioveses made on the Tuscan Coast, with wild berry, cherry and blue flower. Fruit comes from a 4.5-hectare plot.

Though light-bodied, this red delivers strawberry, cherry, almond, iron and tomato leaf aromas and flavors. Juicy, persistent and backed by a spine of dense tannins. Features fine balance and length. Best from 2024 through 2036. 3,333 cases made, 350 cases imported.
