Grape variety
Cabernet Sauvignon
Vineyards
The vineyards extend over 3.5 hectares and are planted on soils composed of marl schist and limestone with a south/south-west exposure at 300 – 400 meters altitude.
Vinification
After bottling, the Cabernet Sauvignon matures for another 3 years in the bottle before being put on sale. The Cabernet Sauvignon from Isole e Olena has a storage potential ranging from 10 to 25 years.
Tasting notes
The Cabernet Sauvignon has an intense dark red color in the glass. On the nose it is powerful and fresh at the same time, with aromas of paprika, spices, ripe fruit, cherries and blackcurrant with notes of sweet tobacco.
On the palate, this Cabernet from Isole e Olena is incredibly engaging, soft and juicy, with gentle and aromatic tannins, full-bodied, a wine of character, elegant and dry in taste. The finish is fresh, delicately spicy, with notes of dark chocolate and pleasantly persistent.
Food and wine pairing
This wonderfully juicy Cabernet Sauvignon pairs very well with dark meats, hearty game dishes, terrines, pâtés and aged cheeses.
