Tolaini Al Passo Tuscan Red 2022

The 2022 Al Passo, the estate's Sangiovese-based blend, is once again terrific. Bold, pliant and generous, the 2022 is impeccably done. Ripe plum, cedar, tobacco, dried herbs and crushed flowers take shape in a wine that marries the richness of the year with a good bit of energy. All the elements are so well balanced. (AG) Rated 94/100 Vinous Media Attractive nose of dark cherries, blackberries, walnuts, cocoa and subtle spices. The palate is compact and well-structured, with a medium to full body and a fine tannin texture, finishing with a lingering and precise focus. Drink or hold. Rated 92/100 James Suckling Sour cherry, raspberry, almond, sanguine, iron and menthol flavors are the heart of this resonant red, which is beautifully balanced and supple, extending on the vibrant, fruit- and savory-tinged aftertaste. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2032. *Smart Buys* (BS) Rated 92/100 Wine Spectator
