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
Dark, ripe, luscious and round, this wine offers gorgeous intensity and a beautifully balanced and rich texture. The Cafaggio 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Basilica del Cortaccio is not shy or bashful. This full-bodied red lays it all out there for you to enjoy with ripe fruit, blackberry preserves, spice and campfire ash. Oak plays an important role in this expression, both in terms of its aromatic profile and its lasting, full-bodied palate. Drink date: 2021-2028. Score - 94.
