CASTELLO DI QUERCETO CIGNALE RED WINE
This is a classic “super-Tuscan”. It is
made on a single 4 hectare plot in the heart of Chianti Classico that is
planted with 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. The grapes are harvested by
hand and fermented in temperature-controlled vessels. It is aged in barrel for
a minimum of 18 months, and then aged in bottle for 6 months before
release. It shows a classic nose of cassis and toast, roast coffee,
clove, cedar, and ripe cherry. It is a wine that will keep well for 20 years
from the vintage and a testament to Bordeaux blends made in this sunny part of
the Mediterranean basin.
Tasting Notes
Very floral and beautiful with hints of dark fruit, black
currant and dried flowers, such as violets. Full body, firm and silky tannins
and a fresh and bright finish. Lots of dried citrus undertones.
