Perlato Del Bosco by Tua Rita - Disruptive Talent

Dear Wine Lovers,

First of all thanks to all those readers that post comments or that write me in private for advice. These things keep the "social passion" live!

Have I ever told you that I love Tuscany? Oh, I'm sorry I know, I don't want to seem monotonous but wines, landscapes, good food, life... there's no best place in the world to find all these "ingredients" !

Yes Tuscany is really an amazing place and the wine culture totally rules! I've some "Chianti" bullets in my belt but today I want to talk about a traditional "new" wine from Bolgheri that a special person, named Laura, gave me for my last birthday (in June).

I've talked a lot in this blog on wines from Bolgheri, I know, but today I'm going to present a traditional Tuscan wine produced in an international Tuscan area, Bolgheri.

Ladies & Gentlemen:

Perlato Del Bosco by Tua Rita

Usually in this Tuscan area the wines are based on international grapes like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and so on and the Tuscan native Sangiovese grape is not ever a fundamental components of wines from Bolgheri, for this reason we call them "supertuscan", which are international grapes planted in Tuscan soil (just to cite some of these: Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Solaia, Guado al Tasso, Grattamacco, Sapaio etc..).

This wine, Perlato Del Bosco, is based on 60/70% of Sangiovese grape and the rest on Cabernet Sauvignon with a minimum part of Syrah (all character grapes).

The colour of this wine is powerful and full of dark violet nuances that will paint your glass; at the nose is gorgeous, overflowing and maybe excessive hints at the start but this wine has a extraordinary capacity, and changes every moment, changes in a couple of minutes, unusual and admirable.

Tasting this wine you'll have the same sensation, the first sip will confuse you, the second one will make you fall in love with it. You'll find deep inky flavours, mature cherry, alcoholic note very strong but not annoying, potent intensity and a very long finish (you won't clean your teeth).

This wine contains an old tradition but also a good modern character, it is really sure of itself, has charm and courage and I loved it.

Maybe this product is unusual and only for "trained palates" but if you're looking for something "different" from a really famous area such as Bolgheri, this could be the right product for you.

Because normality and calmness sometime frighten more than madness, no?

Relax and let yourself go... this wine could help you do to that!
