2004 Le Cupole Rosso Toscana

Written By: Michael Zimberg on Friday, May 30, 2008

Lovely label/ bottle. Lighter style color that looks more like beaujolais. Nice nose of roses, truffle and mushrooms. Flavors of plums, earth and mostly smooth tannins. However, lacks concentration/ finish of a wine in this price range. Still, a well styled package. Solid wine, but not a superstar.

With grilled chicken, rice pilaf and broccoli. Would do better paired with pasta and red sauce.

The 2004 is a total fruit bomb and nice to drink but the tannins are almost non-existent. The winemaker changes the blend every year. The 2004 is Merlot dominated, which is rare because it is typically made from declassified Cabernet Franc from the Tenuta di Trinoro. Try the 2005 and see the difference.
