L'Oca Ciuca 2009 Toscana IGT
The L'Oca Ciuca (Drunken Goose) estate is the family property of famous Italian enologist Alberto Antonini, who has headed up winemaking at such iconic Tuscan estates as Col D'Orcia, Frescobaldi and Antinori. The estate covers 150 acres on Southwest facing slopes in the Chianti DOC. Made in a forward and appealing style, L'Oca Ciuca 2009 Toscana is a Super Tuscan with a difference. While most use Cabernet Sauvignon, this ripe red is a blend of 40% Sangiovese 30% Merlot and 30% Syrah. The result is a wine that’s supple, spicy, forward and lush with ample cherry and berry characteristics. Balanced with bright acidity, its the perfect match for spicy, rich flavored foods.

        The wine is unbalanced, weak, short finish, and somewhat sour.

          Comments about L'Oca Ciuca 2009 Toscana IGT:

          Better known for their highly revered Brunello, this entry level Super Tuscan offers a lot of bang for the buck! Lots of cherry and berry fruit meshes with the savory and meaty tones from the Syrah. It's soft and lush while maintaining a sturdy structure and balance. Perfect for pizza and pasta or even that late fall BBQ!

            I like a light, sweet, fruity wine. Does this wine fit that description?

              A:

              No. This is a medium bodied, dry wine. Try the Carletto Rosso for something fruity and slightly sweet.
