Fattoria Mantellassi Punton del Sorbo Cabernet Sauvignon DOCG 2022, 0,75 L

Cabernet Sauvignon and Tuscany now work remarkably well together, especially when the grapes receive plenty of sunshine while still retaining their freshness. This red wine achieves exactly that, and does so with impressive finesse. It is powerful and full of flavour, yet at the same time wonderfully approachable.

This Tuscan wine displays plenty of character on the nose, with dark redcurrants, ripe wild berries and refined notes of herbs, tobacco and a hint of cedar wood. On the palate, it is full-bodied and juicy, with beautifully integrated tannins and just the right degree of intensity. Despite its strength, everything remains pleasantly harmonious and well balanced.

The ageing process adds further depth and brings subtle spicy notes that complement the dark fruit perfectly. The wine is never heavy, but instead remains elegantly structured and easy to drink. It is precisely this balance that makes it such an excellent companion to food.

This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs particularly well with grilled meat, steak, game dishes or robust pasta dishes with rich, dark sauces. Matured hard cheese also complements its spicy character beautifully. A red wine for those who appreciate intense yet elegant Tuscan styles.
