Villa Pillo “Cingalino” Rosso di Toscana 2017

Made from Bordeaux grapes but rather tastes like Chianti. The terroir speaking, I guess. Well handled oak, I would bet it’s not new, or at least big sized, but I would be wrong – it’s second filled French barrique. Clever winemaking. Pleasantly rustic, with a nice tannic edge, it’s so Italian. A lovely midweek red with real Tuscan heart.

Rating: a solid, good wine. 85 points.
Price: around 7 euros in Germany, a bit more expensive in Hungary (2900 HUF).
Value: correct.
Drinking window: now-2022.
