Flavor Profile
Sangiovese is Tuscany’s best-known grape, responsible for famous reds like Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino. La Magia, the leading estate behind this organically grown example, happen to be Brunello experts. But it’s their outstanding, humbly labeled Toscana release that caught the eye of our expert, Leo (and that of Italian wine authority James Suckling, who rates it 92 points).
Il vispo means “light and lively,” a moniker that’ll make perfect sense once you take that first sip, because—zing!—the wine spills over with cheek-pinching, red-cherry juiciness. This mouthwatering quality is a Sangiovese calling card and part of what makes these wines ideal for acidic tomato sauces on pastas and pizza.
But that’s just our take. Here’s what Suckling had to say: “Extremely floral with blackberry and plum aromas and hints of walnuts. Full-bodied with round, juicy tannins, dark fruit and slightly toasted oak.”
Be quick on the draw with your order. There’s only so much to go around, and since Tuscan reds are one of our most in-demand categories, competition will be fierce to get your hands on some.
