	Blend of sangiovese, syrah and merlot
	Juicy and smooth, with notes of cherry, plum and cloves
	Delicious with dried Italian meats

Description
Villa Il Palagio has been the holiday home of Sting and his wife Trudie Styler in Tuscany for more than twenty years. The famous couple has completely restored the old vineyards and certified them organic. From grape to wine, elements from biodynamics are also used.

A major leap in quality has been made in the cellar since the 2019 harvest under the influence of Riccardo Cotarella. He stands for a minimalist form of wine making, which fits in well with Sting and Trudie's philosophy of producing with respect for nature.

The Message in a Bottle is made from sangiovese grapes, supplemented with syrah and merlot. Cotarella's preference for grape expression over oak is beautifully expressed here.

The taste is accessible with a pleasant juiciness, making this beautiful Tuscan wine versatile. It is very suitable to drink on its own, but also strong enough to serve with all kinds of dishes. Tip: use large, wide glasses so that the beautiful aromas can develop properly.

Drink with
Refined, slightly spicy red wine to drink solo or with tasty (pasta) dishes, such as ravioli of ricotta and mushrooms, tagliatelle with eggplant and mozzarella or soft cheeses.

Tasting note
Ruby red wine with an open scent of red currant, cherry, plum, cloves and laurel. Juicy and smooth in taste with beautiful cherry fruit, stimulating acidity and fine tannins. The final is elegant and slightly spicy.

Shelf life
Drink straight away; easy to keep for 4 to 5 years after harvest.
