Tosco's word

The red and white from Tenuta La Chiusa are separated by a hair, with 7.1 vs. 7.0, and share the same strength: a solid value-for-money rating around €15 for an island DOC. If you are looking for an age-worthy wine with character to accompany game or aged cheese, the Rosso, with its 70% Sangiovese and 30% Merlot blend and barrel aging, takes the lead; the Vermentino, on the other hand, is meant for immediate drinking, with fish or antipasti, thanks to its citrus freshness and its serving temperature of 8-10 °C. Both lack distinctions and details on aging, so choose according to your dinner menu rather than a difference in quality, which remains slight.
