Isole e Olena Cab Privata Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (75cl, 15%)

A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Tuscany's Chianti Classico zone, bottled at 15% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It comes from a three-hectare vineyard on marly schists and limestone at 300-400 metres, with vines over twenty years old. The wine ferments in stainless steel with extended maceration, then ages in French barriques for one year and spends a further two years in bottle before release. The nose shows wild blueberries, blackberries, ripe cherries, dried flowers, rose petal, leather, menthol, tobacco and black pepper. The palate is soft and enveloping with concentrated dark berry fruit, persistent tannins and a balancing elegance, finishing long with ripe cherry, spice and leather-tinged warmth.
