San Giusto a Rentennano La Ricolma 1999 IGT 0,75l

San Giusto a Rentennano La Ricolma 1999 IGT is a red wine born in the heart of Toscana, in Gaiole in Chianti, from a careful reading of a vintage rich in maturity and character, capable of conveying with restraint the story of a land that rewards the patience of waiting and the art of quiet work in the vineyard and cellar. The San Giusto a Rentennano estate, one of the most deeply rooted names in the Tuscan wine scene, stands out for a history intertwined with its territory and for a corporate identity that blends respect for tradition with curiosity about new interpretations of winemaking, looking to the future without betraying the memory of the past. Its production philosophy rests on careful vineyard management focused on balancing yield and quality, selective hand harvesting, controlled fermentation, and lengthy aging in large-format oak, allowing the fruit to integrate without the vessel imposing its character, while preserving lively acidity and shaping a structure that unfolds gradually. La Ricolma stands out for its silky tannic texture, supporting a complex aromatic composition: notes of ripe sour cherry, black plum, cocoa, tobacco, leather, and a mineral touch recalling the Tuscan subsoil, while the passing years elevate its balance and finish. On the palate, it reveals full yet well-balanced body, a tapestry of dark fruit evolving into woody spices and a lingering flavor progression in which acidity remains present as a guide, allowing the finish to stretch into a canyon of balsamic notes and graphite echoes, making it a wine capable of engaging with richly characterful dishes or evolving serenely in a glass at sunset. In the producer’s range, La Ricolma serves as a benchmark label for the vintage and for San Giusto a Rentennano’s expressive capacity, offering a window onto the terroir and the winery’s commitment to a long life in the bottle. In this setting, La Ricolma 1999 can be read as a fulfilled promise of quiet grandeur, a presence that STELT invites those seeking authentic flavor, depth, and longevity to discover.
