The 2005 Perlato del Bosco (65% Sangiovese, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a finessed, elegant version of this wine. Perfumed aromatics and lively minerality buffer a core of sweet, dark fruit. In keeping with the personality of the vintage, this is a somewhat linear Perlato del Bosco, but it offers outstanding harmony and plenty of style. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015.
In the difficult 2005 vintage Tua Rita proves why it deserves a spot among the finest estates in Italy. This is truly a stellar showing from proprietor Stefano Frascolla and consulting oenologist Stefano Chioccioli made all the more notable considering the less than ideal conditions the 2005 vintage presented.
