Il Precipitoso Coste del Vivo 2019

Description

You might be more familiar with Toby’s masterful, multi-vintage blend Rosso No.1. Well, consider the silkiness and loveliness you get with that, add a little extra richness and weight from some concentrated Cabernet Franc and Merlot, no Sangiovese here, and you have the Il Precipitoso 2019.

Coste del Vivo is the personal project of winemaker Toby Owen. 20 years ago, he was manager of a wine shop in Scotland, dreaming of one day being able to make wine like the best of those he sold. In 2009 a chance meeting led to experience working with Brunello producer San Polino in Montalcino. Later, in 2012 he returned to Montalcino as winemaking assistant at Casa Raia. By the following vintage he was winemaker for micro-producer Hortulanus in the beautiful vineyards of Seggiano on Monte Amiata, and it’s here he began producing his own range of fabulous wines.
