Pojo Del Ruspo

2004 Umbria Sangiovese

The Barbi Pojo Del Ruspo 2004, a delightful Sangiovese from the enchanting Umbria region, captivates with its deep red color that hints at the wine's character. This full-bodied red offers a harmonious balance of high acidity, imparting a bright and lively mouthfeel that enhances its food-friendly nature. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of luscious black cherry and ripe plum, complemented by subtle earthy undertones and a touch of spice. Its tannins are notable yet rounded, creating a structured backbone that ensures a pleasing finish. This vintage is dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty Italian dishes or enjoying on its own as an exquisite expression of Umbria's winemaking prowess.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
