Tasting Notes

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.

More Info

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.

FROM THE PRESS

“The 2019 Rosso Il Precipitoso is a real treat, lifting from the glass with masses of tart raspberry, peppery herbs, sage and wet stones. Silky and enveloping, this washes across the palate with an elegant wave of ripe red and blueberry fruits tinged with exotic spice, all held together by zesty acidity. It leaves a staining of violet florals, blackberry concentration and fine-grained tannins, tapering off fresh with a pretty inner sweetness. Il Precipitoso does an excellent job of beautifully balancing Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Drinking window 2025-2031”
