About this wine
Rubeo del Colle is Cantina Mazzarri's IGT Toscana Rosso, sold alongside the estate's Elba DOC/DOCG range. It shows a violet-ruby color with a complex nose opening to notes of cinnamon and quinine, and an enveloping palate with a touch of balanced sweetness — likely reflecting a partial-appassimento style consistent with the estate's focus on passiti wines. Note: the grape composition is not independently confirmed beyond a single secondary source citing Sangiovese; treat this attribution with some caution.
A curious, small-production side bottling for those who've already explored Mazzarri's DOC wines.
Sommelier's Note
"The least-documented wine in Mazzarri's range — worth seeking out if you find it, precisely because so few have written about it."
Food Pairings
Its rounder, slightly sweeter profile suggests pairing with spiced or slow-braised meat dishes and aged cheeses.
When to drink it
For curious wine lovers exploring the estate's less common bottlings.
