Filippo goes to Roccapesta, to taste their 2018 Ribeo, a wine made with classic Sangiovese and Alicanate
Simplicity makes Ribeo a fine wine to enjoy over and over again, as its name implies. From the Tuscan slang of ribere, we’re inspired to enjoy a classic Sangiovese and Alicanate, the varietals grown in this unique Tuscan wine region, Morellino di Scansano more than just once in a lifetime!
What makes this Morellino di Scansano by Roccapesta such a versatile and easy wine to match with food? The influence of the region’s terroir and climate, the impact of Mt. Amiata, and the Mediterranean sea nearby all lend a hand in making the Roccapesta Morellino di Scansano Ribeo a versatile and red-fruit based wine ideal to pair with red meat, fish, and vegetable dishes alike.
