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
A big Tuscan cabernet highly drinkable right now. A little burnt sugar and cedar enhances the fruit on the palate which is beginning to dry out. A charming, mature find still with a good deal of personality. Both juicy and oxidative, a somewhat odd sensation on the palate but not unwelcome. Compelling and showing above average complexity for the price. Try with duck confit. Score - 90. (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com, Sept. 29, 2016)
