The 2012 Pian del Ciampolo is a blend of Sangioveto, Canaiolo and Colorino that opens to a beautifully luminous and light ruby color. This is a fantastic wine - the kind you want to thirstily wash down with fresh pasta topped with rabbit ragù and crushed juniper. Foodies will find its approachability irresistible. White cherry, crushed pepper and cranberry appear on the bouquet and the wines delivers a fresh dose of acidity that will cut straight through cheese toppings or butter. It’s not necessarily an age-worthy proposition nor is it overtly complex, but it certainly hits all the right buttons.
