This time we try a Super Tuscan - wine made in Italy with a blend of Italian grapes (like Sangiovese) and International grapes (like Syrah). This 2020 Tenute Rossetti all’Uso Toscano is made in the Governo style which means that some of the grapes were dried on straw mats and then added to the already fermented wine to start a second fermentation. This makes a richer wine that is perfect for Tuscan food - and a lot more!
My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. My next stop on my journey was doing my own wine tours in the Okanagan for 6 years. Now I'm retired (again) and just drinking - and tasting - wine! Join me as we taste a new wine every couple of weeks!
