(2025) I always enjoy Ricasole's Albia, a pink blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, and the 2023 seems like a very fine effort. Medium pale peachy-pink, it has a citrus peel, Mandarin orange aspect to the aroma, a touch of smoke and spice and undertow of almond. The palate is savoury and quite richly-textured, but has lovely fruit and composure. I really enjoyed this with its fine balance and length.
