How does this wine taste?

How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.

The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.

How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.

How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Roxanne... wife of Alexander the Great, the unrequited love of Cyrano de Bergerac, and the eponymous subject of one of Sting's earliest and most famous songs. And now a delicious IGT from Tuscany, which is part of the portfolio of widely acclaimed wines produced at Il Palagio.

Roxanne is a blend consisting mainly of Sangiovese. The grapes come from various locations in the provinces of Florence and Siena, at an altitude of approximately 200 meters. Maceration lasts about 10 days, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for five months, after which the wine ages for another 12 months in French oak barrels.

In the glass, the Roxanne has a deep ruby red color. On the nose, intense and fruity notes of ripe red fruit and sweet spices. Strong personality, harmonious structure, and well-complexed tannins, with a long finish. With a complex aroma of cherries, wild blackberries, and herbs, this is a versatile and very drinkable wine suitable to complement many dishes. The wine is a good accompaniment to red meat, spiced Pecorino cheese, and a Fiorentina steak.

Deze robijnrode Roxanne biedt intense tonen van rijpe kersen en wilde bramen, aangevuld met zoete specerijen, lichte kruidigheid en stevige, goed geïntegreerde tannines die voor lengte en structuur zorgen. Daardoor past de wijn uitstekend bij rundvlees, lam, pittige pecorino of hartige pasta en pizza: de fruitige frisheid snijdt door vet en saus, terwijl de tannines en kruidigheid mooi samengaan met gegrild vlees en gerijpte kazen. Kies voor gegrild of langzaam gegaard vlees, een sappige Fiorentina of oregano-rijke tomatensauzen en licht geroosterde of kruidig gebakken lamsschouder om de rijkdom en complexiteit van deze wijn het beste tot zijn recht te laten komen.
