Nicholas Pearce presents a best value wine from Montalcino…
A Roaring Great Red: Cortonesi Lèonus IGT Toscana 2019
The Cortonesi family has owned the La Mannella farm in Montalcino for decades and are devoted to the production of Brunello di Montalcino. This wine, Lèonus, is a humble but mighty Toscana IGT made from grapes that are in fact declassified Brunello grapes, from vineyards in Montalcino.
It is one of the best value wines from the area. This Rosso Toscano is juicy and fresh. Full of red cherries and dark berries on the nose, with a delicate astringency on the palate. It has such a great balance and it drinks so well that it’s the perfect everyday wine.
This wine pairs brilliantly with dishes prepared with tomato sauce and herbs, such as lasagna or pizza. It’s also great with antipasti (olives, cured meats, pecorino cheese), and simply roasted meats or chicken.
