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.
The least-documented wine in Mazzarri's range — worth seeking out if you find it, precisely because so few have written about it.
