The Finer Details
What does our Somm say?
Wines with such presence, such as this noble red from Tuscany; the Aragone D.O.C from La Mozza, can definitely be enjoyed outside of a formal meal setting, with rich cheeses, dried fruits, good quality pâté, or spice infused salamis.
However, every great Italian wine ‘sings’ when enjoyed with a meal, and for this wine, the flavours of red meats, marinated vegetables, cured salami and prosciutto and even poultry make a well matched occasion of this wine.
My personal favourite? Try this with a spit roast goat in garlic dressing, on a bed of roasted tomatoes, potato, and couscous.
Decanter this wine for a few house prior to serving, to really bring out the depth of flavour and enhance your drinking experience.

The Winery
La Mozza consists of 36 hectares (90 acres) and lies in the Southwest corner of Tuscany’s Maremma, a dozen kilometres from the sea and 45 minutes Southwest of Montalcino. This area is much drier than the fog-draped hills of central Tuscany.
The lack of morning mist means the grapes start ripening at sunrise and are sun-drenched until sunset. Rain is scarce as the Island of Elba off the coast acts as a windbreak, shifting eastbound moisture to the north and south. In this area, hot-climate varieties like Syrah and Alicante thrive, and the acidic edge of Sangiovese has transformed into Morellino’s lush cherry fruit.
The uniqueness of this territory, and dedication to the art of winemaking at ‘La Mozza’ are your guarantees of excellence constantly undertaken by the winery.
