Muraccio 2021

Antica Fattoria La Parrina is the only estate in Tuscany’s elite Parrina D.O.C. It’s also one of only two wineries in Italy to have its own appellation. The other is ultra-famous Sassicaia, whose flagship Super Tuscan will run you $250+ a bottle. Parrina’s Muraccio Super Tuscan, by comparison, is a remarkable price.

To craft Muraccio, talented winemaker Valeria Vittori selected the best Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the estate’s organically farmed vineyards. The vines grow along the property’s foothills, an area the team calls muraccio, after the ancient Roman wall discovered there. In the cellar, Valeria gently crushed the grapes to extract every bit of color and flavor, then aged the wine in her finest oak barrels.

Muraccio released to a 91-point score from Vinous.com: “Bold and juicy, the 2021 offers tons of immediacy. Crushed flowers, spice, dried leaves and tobacco lend nuance to a core of dark red berry fruit.” It’s an exquisite wine to enjoy alongside classic Italian cuisine.

This special Super Tuscan is made in very limited quantities. Hurry to be among the first to taste it.
