Tolaini Al Passo Toscana 2021 is a wine that boasts a harmonious blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, the wine exhibits spicy oak notes that are complemented by the unmistakable fragrance of cherries and berries. The palate is characterized by a solid backbone of Sangiovese, which is perfectly balanced by the roundness of Merlot and the added body of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Tolaini Al Passo 2021 showcases the purity of the fruit and the unique characteristics of each varietal. It is an unfiltered wine, and as such, some sediment may occur at the bottom of the bottle.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review – Rated 93:
A firm, polished red with subtle blackberry, blueberry and violet aromas, as well as some cedar, following through to a full body with fresh acidity, chewy tannins and a linear finish. Needs a couple of years to open. Try after 2024.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Review – Rated 92:
This entry-level blend of equal parts Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot offers outstanding value. The 2019 Al Passo (with 110,000 bottles made) shows bright energy and vertical lift. There are aromas of sweet cherry, black pepper, cinnamon and crushed stone. You get a wide spectrum of aromas over a mid-weight body and soft texture. Best After 2022
Wine Spectator Review – Rated 92:
An expressive, fruity style, this red features cherry, raspberry, plum, floral and wild herb aromas and flavors. Dense and lively, with a lingering aftertaste of red fruit and herbs. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Wine Enthusiast Review – Rated 91:
This wine has a deeply umami nose, with notes of mushroom, moss and balsamic in addition to crunchy cranberries. The combination of red fruit and greens with vinegar recalls a Waldorf salad. Bouncier than expected, the palate offers cola flavors, medicinal cherry and plenty of heat.
