Black fruit, plum, licorice, game, smoke and chocolate all inform this decidedly potent Ricolma. It's a vintage built on textural richness more than aromatics.

The richness and intensity of the wine know no bounds, and the textural finesse is equally impressive. Black cherry and blackberry render a sense of softness, while exotic spice flavors and Mediterranean herb give the wine depth and dimension. Although this edition of Ricolma doesn’t have the same level of focus and precision of cooler vintages (like 2010), it remains a true standout Tuscan Merlot nonetheless. I’d give the 2011 a shorter drinking window because of the overtly ripe nature of the fruit that may evolve quickly with cellar aging\".\u003cbr\u003e-Monica Larner\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-05-04T12:43:59-05:00","created_at":"2020-05-04T12:43:59-05:00","vendor":"Sunfish Cellars Wine \u0026 Spirits","type":"Wine","tags":["90pt","Country_Italy","Producer_Fattoria San Giusto a Rentennano","Region_Tuscany","Size_750ml","Varietal_Merlot","Vintage_2011","Wine"],"price":15499,"price_min":15499,"price_max":15499,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":15999,"compare_at_price_min":15999,"compare_at_price_max":15999,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":31689708863531,"title":"Tuscany \/ Merlot \/ 2011","option1":"Tuscany","option2":"Merlot","option3":"2011","sku":"607531744320","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"San Giusto a Rentennano La Ricolma 2011 - Tuscany \/ Merlot \/ 2011","public_title":"Tuscany \/ Merlot \/ 2011","options":["Tuscany","Merlot","2011"],"price":15499,"weight":1361,"compare_at_price":15999,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"607531744320","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2321\/6841\/products\/san-giusto-rentennano-ricolma-11-resize.jpg?v=1624983895"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2321\/6841\/products\/san-giusto-rentennano-ricolma-11-resize.jpg?v=1624983895","options":["Region","Varietal","Vintage"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":20510728192043,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.952,"height":1134,"width":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2321\/6841\/products\/san-giusto-rentennano-ricolma-11-resize.jpg?v=1624983895"},"aspect_ratio":0.952,"height":1134,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2321\/6841\/products\/san-giusto-rentennano-ricolma-11-resize.jpg?v=1624983895","width":1080}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eName:\u003c\/b\u003e San Giusto a Rentennano 'La Ricolma' Merlot Toscana IGT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry:\u003c\/b\u003e Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Tuscany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Fattoria San Giusto a Rentennano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/b\u003e Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVinous Review; 93 Points\u003cbr\u003e\"The 2011 La Ricolma is a huge, dense wine that very much reflects the personality of this hot, dry year.
