Viniou Reviews

Antica Fattoria La Parrina’s Cuvée Parrina Rosso 2022 is a charming organic red wine from the heart of Tuscany. Although the precise blend is not specified, Tuscan reds are typically dominated by Sangiovese, often blended with varieties such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon to add depth and structure. The 2022 vintage expresses youthful vibrancy, with crimson colours that capture both the bright fruit tones of the vintage and the traditions of the estate. The wine is produced following organic farming principles, which means the grapes are treated with particular care in the vineyard, ensuring purity of fruit and a true expression of the terroir. Vinification embraces a style that balances freshness and character, preserving the natural fruit profile and offering a well-integrated mouthfeel.

The region of Tuscany is world-renowned for its rolling hills, sun-drenched vineyards, and an enduring connection to vinous excellence. The Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, allows the grapes to ripen slowly, developing complex aromas while retaining a lively acidity. The soils are typically rich in clay, limestone and galestro, a crumbly local stone. These elements contribute to wines of finesse, freshness and depth. Tuscany’s rich wine history, steeped in tradition yet receptive to innovation, ensures every bottle carries the unique stamp of its landscape and people.

Cuvée Parrina Rosso’s approachable fruit character and elegant tannic structure make it a versatile companion at the table. For a regional pairing, try it with classic Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle al cinghiale (wild boar pasta) or a Florentine steak grilled simply with olive oil and rosemary. The wine’s freshness will also complement roasted vegetables, tomato-based pastas or a selection of pecorino cheeses. Lighter notes of the wine could even pair nicely with grilled aubergine or hearty porcini risotto.

To fully appreciate this wine, serve it at 16-18°C. Decanting for thirty minutes will help reveal its aromatic complexity and polish the tannins. Enjoy this wine now for its bright fruit and vitality, or consider cellaring a few bottles for another couple of years to watch how it evolves.
