Dense ruby red with a generous core. A compact and concentrated nose, with notes of ripe cassis, blackberries, liquorice, chimney smoke and sweet spices. The wine is powerful and structured on the palate, with juicy but prominent tannins. Concentrated, harmonious power. Black berries and plenty of spice. A multi-faceted, long finish, wonderfully accompanied by roasted flavours.

Vinification
The showpiece of Tasca d’Almerita. A single-variety Cabernet Sauvignon from old vines. After pressing the grapes, the must is fermented in wooden vats then aged for twelve months in 300-litre French barriques (Allier, Tronçais) for refinement.
