2024 Frescobaldi Remole IGT, Tuscany

Some Tuscan families have been making wine for centuries, but the Frescobaldis can trace their history back more than 700 years. Remole takes its name from a historic estate east of Florence and celebrates the easygoing pleasures of everyday Tuscan wine. Under the direction of Lamberto Frescobaldi, the family's winemaking combines tradition with a modern approach. Sangiovese, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, gives this approachable red its lively fruit and appealing structure.

Bright ruby red with youthful violet reflections. Juicy red cherry, ripe raspberry and plum mingle with violet, dried oregano and a hint of black pepper. The 2024 vintage is fresh and beautifully approachable, with soft tannins, lively acidity and a gently savoury finish. Nothing too serious, just a deliciously versatile Tuscan red that knows its way around a dinner table.

Wonderful with tomato braised octopus and olives, crispy eggplant parmigiana, or wood fired pizza with fennel sausage and roasted peppers.

Cellaring: Drink now to 2029. Particularly appealing for its youthful fruit and freshness.
