About this WINE
Cabernet Sauvignon
Chocolate, vanilla, black currant, cedar, pepper and high tannins Cabernet Sauvignon is the jet setter of grapes. It travels all over the world, but being a late bloomer, it thrives in warm climates. When it matures, it is famous for intensity and depth of taste, balanced with a solid acidity due to the gentle ripening.The tiny, thick-skinned grape is packed with flavour, dark blue colour and tannins. Grown all over the world, the flavours vary. In France, it is often blended with the softer Merlot or the cooler Cabernet Franc, and is usually a bit higher in acidity.In the southern sphere
Cabernet Franc
Green bell peppers, fine tannins, red and blackberriesAs one of the most ancient and important varieties in the Bordeaux family, Cabernet Franc often fades in the limelight of its offspring; Cabernet Sauvignon. In comparison, Cabernet Franc is often lighter, less intense, and more aromatic.It is often tasted together with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as the famous Bordeaux blend; a mix that is said to utilize the grape’s attractiveness. When going solo, Cabernet Franc produces tasty wines in cool and challenging areas, such as Washington (US) and Long Island (New Zealand).The Italian version,

Dark fruits, minerals, smoke, spicy, high in alcohol and tanninsOriginally from the Bordeaux region, this dark-skinned grape can prove quite a challenge in the vineyard.

The Producer
A natural theatre, protected to the east by the Metalliferous Hills which slope down towards the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The conformation of this area leads to a special microclimate characterised by hot summers always cooled by the continuous winds coming from the sea and channelled by the Tuscan archipelago. Approaching the coast, the soils vary from being clay loam to loose. These particular conditions not only give structure but also infuse the wines of Bolgheri with a unique elegance and freshness, a testament to the terroir's distinctiveness.Bolgheri is a territory characterised by ...

These particular conditions not only give structure but also infuse the wines of Bolgheri with a unique elegance and freshness, a testament to the terroir's distinctiveness.Bolgheri is a territory characterised by international grapes. The pedo-climatic features have conditioned the viticulture of this part of Tuscany, identifying Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot as the right grape varieties for this area, reminiscent of Bordeaux. The wines made from these grapes, whether used as a blend or in purity, are known for their power, elegance, finesse, and a great inclination to ageing. Bolgheri's wines' power and ageing potential are a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of the region's winemakers. The cultivation of international grapes is accompanied by that of Vermentino, which in Bolgheri has found a unique interpretation of the Tuscan coast.
