2018 Uccelliera Rapace

The Uccelliera 2018 Rapace (a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a lean, medium-bodied red. This is an easy-drinking blend with an especially food-friendly taste profile. The 2018 vintage is on the thinner side, but this wine will appeal to those who appreciate more brightness and aromatic lift. The 14.5% alcohol content pushes back a bit, but the wine is accessible nonetheless. Production is 9,600 bottles.
