Tocco Capostazione Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 2020
Abruzzo, ItalyTocco was founded in 1981 by Enisio Tocco, in the hills of Pescara, in Alanno, on the Adriatic coast. His sons Lorenzo and Danilo joined him in 2014 after studying and working abroad. Their 34 hectares (half dedicated to vines) is certified organic. Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is a relatively recent DOC in central Italy's Abruzzo, and is a category named for the light and graceful cherry-like colour of these wines (cerasuolo means cherry in Italian). Take this as a cross between a rosé and a very light red. A glowing pale crimson hue, this montepulciano is joyous and bright with wild strawberries, perfumed raspberries, goji berries, and a bright tangerine laced acidity that lifts this to a spiced finish. Very fine tannins hold this in place, and welcome a variety of food pairings (think romesco sauced veg and shellfish).Tasted: 16 December 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $22.00 | 750ml | consignment |
