Ridge Grenache Blanc 2022
Here's a confident red Tuscan red blend. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Sweet berry and fresh herbs on the nose. Full bodied, with soft, velvety tannins. Notes of wild berries, ripe juicy sour cherries and hints of sweet spices. This is Italy - in a not-so-expensive, approachable way.

Region: Tuscany, Italy.
•Grapes: Merlot 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 35%, Cabernet Franc 5%.

•Refinement in bottle: 6 months.
•Alcohol content: 13% vol.

Characteristics: Lagone has a warm deep red colour close to purple. Delicate aromas of Mediterranean wood and vanilla emphasize the structured and elegant taste with intense notes of wild berries, ripe juicy sour cherries and hints of sweet spices that leave the palate satisfied and pleasantly sweet and dry. Tibor Gál has been able to create a blend marked by the Italian "terroir" together with the "finesse" of a great French red wine. The wine is well structured with a strong and mellow texture. In short, a modern red wine of the best quality.
