I Giusti & Zanza 'Perbruno' Rosso Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2010

Description

From Tuscany, the 2010 Rosso Toscana IGT Perbruno reflects a vintage widely regarded for balance and classical structure. The bouquet is layered and expressive, opening with dried cherry, black plum, and red currant before unfolding into notes of tobacco, leather, and sun warmed earth. Subtle hints of cedar and spice speak to careful élevage without dominating the fruit.

On the palate the wine is medium to full bodied, structured by firm yet refined tannins that have softened with time. The fruit has evolved into a savory register, suggesting dried fig and sour cherry alongside nuances of cocoa and balsamic herb. Acidity remains vibrant, giving the wine lift and length.

The finish is persistent and gently austere, tapering with red fruit, earth, and a touch of spice. It is a poised and traditional expression of Tuscany in a strong vintage, emphasizing structure, balance, and graceful evolution over opulence.
