Oria Prologo Rosso 2020 – Tuscan Drama Meets Quiet Elegance

Tasting Notes

This isn’t shy Tuscan juice—it’s serious. The deep ruby pour greets you with bright red cherry and violet, then burrows into plum, fig, rosemary, and that cheeky bitter cocoa twist ⎯ complex, structured, and unapologetically bold. On the palate? Full-bodied richness, softened by balanced acidity, ending with a medium-plus finish that whispers Tuscany’s terroir—not yells it. 

Meet the Winemaker

This is Cipresso doing one of his most concept-smart plays yet. He splits fermentation: some Sangiovese gets the cold, stainless treatment (preserving delicate aromatics), the rest goes warm and woody in Slovenian oak—then magically recombines into a seamless beauty. It’s Tuscan tradition with experimental soul.
