The 2016 Ghiaccio Forte Toscana is a delightful expression of Tuscany, showcasing the region’s rich heritage with a modern twist. Scoring 91 points, this red blend captivates the palate with layers of ripe cherry, dark plum, and a hint of earthy spice, all tied together with a velvety texture. The wine’s balanced acidity makes it incredibly food-friendly, pairing beautifully with rustic Italian dishes like osso buco or a hearty mushroom risotto. Its complexity and finesse make it stand out, especially at a retail price of $30; this bottle is a smart buy for the quality, delivering well beyond its peers at the current price of just $8.64.
