Il Vispo Toscana Rosso 2018

Award Winner

James Suckling
91 Points – 2019 US

Sangiovese is Tuscany’s best-known grape, responsible for famous reds like Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino. La Magia, the leading estate behind this organically grown example, happen to be Brunello experts; but it’s their outstanding, humbly labeled Toscana release that caught the eye of our expert, Leo (and that of Italian wine authority James Suckling, who rates it 91 points).

Il vispo means “light and lively,” a moniker that’ll make perfect sense once you take that first sip, because – zing! – the wine spills over with cheek-pinching, red-cherry juiciness. This mouthwatering quality is a Sangiovese calling card (and, part of what makes these wines ideal for acidic tomato sauces on pastas and pizza).
