Castellare di Castellina Coniale Cabernet 2018 (WA 95)

Wine Advocate 95 points.
A pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the Castellare di Castellina 2018 Coniale is a layered and darkly saturated wine that embraces a throwback stylistic preference focused on richness and concentration. Made in one of the most beautiful corners of Tuscany in the Chianti Classico region, the wine sports sweet, ripe tannins with pretty flavors of dark fruit, blackberry, spice and barbecue smoke. This vintage is especially powerful and bold.ML Jun 2022.

WINERY NOTE:
Pure Cabernet Sauvignon, putting Castellare’s productive capacities to the test with the rest of the world. Work carried out in the vineyard and a wine-making process focused more on elegance than power. A result which, apart from the strong note of a Cabernet, goes a long way to illustrate the characteristics of the terroir.

Tasting Notes:
Intense ruby red. This wine immediately conveys a hint of cherries and small fruits such as currants. The overall bouquet is complemented by subtle woody notes. The palate is well balanced and persistent.
