Description
A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a property that dates back to 1498, the Cortaccio is a wine that illustrates just how successful the marriage of tradition and modernity can be. This is a perennially big, impressive wine. At nine years of age, it will show signs of maturity - look for dried fruit, meat and leather tones to show through - but this is a wine crafted with an eye to 12-15 years of cellarability. This will be a refined, sophisticated addition to your table.

Tasting Notes
Crafted from 100% Cabernet, this is beginning to show its age, but in a manner that still holds that distinct Tuscan attribute of offering an elegant earthiness. Aromas and flavours of dried fruits, leather, spice, sage and savoury herbs. Enjoy with dishes featuring mushrooms, truffles, eggplant or pasta. (VINTAGES panel, Aug. 2016)
