About this wine
Gioco d'Ombre is a Toscana Rosso IGT blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah from Bosco alle Vigne's estate in Castagneto Carducci. It shows a lively red-purple color, intense aromas of red fruit and spice, ripe yet delicate tannins, and a structured, persistent palate with a balanced roundness. Alcohol is 14% vol.
A spicier, more layered alternative to the estate's Filare 58 — a good next step for those already comfortable with Bolgheri-style reds.
Sommelier's Note
"The Syrah in Gioco d'Ombre gives it a peppery edge the estate's other reds don't have — a more textured, playful side of Bosco alle Vigne's Bolgheri."
Food Pairings
The Syrah component adds peppery spice that works well with grilled sausages, peppered steak, and slow-braised stews.
When to drink it
Grilled meat dinners, autumn stews, gatherings that call for a structured, spicy red
