Casanova della Spinetta Prugnolo Gentile 2021

Casanova della Spinetta Prugnolo Gentile 2021 is a characterful Tuscan red that highlights one of the historic expressions of Sangiovese in its purest form. By vinifying Prugnolo Gentile on its own, La Spinetta brings out the grape’s delicate perfume, bright structure, and unmistakable regional identity.

Tasting Notes
Expect a vivid, ruby-red wine with an elegant and youthful appearance. The nose is typically lifted and expressive, with red cherry, wild berries, violet, dried herbs, and subtle earthy nuances that reflect the grape’s old-vine heritage and Tuscan origins. On the palate, it should be fresh and finely structured, with juicy red fruit, lively acidity, and refined tannins that give the wine shape without overpowering its charm. Prugnolo Gentile is known for combining finesse with persistence, and this 2021 vintage should offer good mid-term aging potential, gaining complexity over the next several years.

Production
Produced in Tuscany from Prugnolo Gentile, an ancient grape variety widely regarded as a Sangiovese biotype, this wine is crafted to show the variety’s distinct personality rather than blending it away. La Spinetta’s approach emphasizes purity and precision, with careful vineyard selection and vinification aimed at preserving aromatic detail, freshness, and varietal character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with Tuscan-inspired dishes such as pappardelle with ragù, roast poultry, grilled lamb, and mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C; a short decant of 30–60 minutes can help open up the aromatics, especially in its youth.

Producer
La Spinetta is one of Italy’s most respected modern producers, known for combining meticulous viticulture with a clear sense of place. Originally established in Piedmont and later expanding into Tuscany, the estate has earned a strong reputation for expressive, high-quality wines that balance tradition and contemporary winemaking. Casanova della Spinetta reflects the producer’s commitment to showcasing Tuscany’s native grapes with clarity and ambition.
