Natural Cork

The first vintage of this wine was 2000, but the vineyards of this Giovanni Chiappini label date back to 1978 (Le Grottine) and 1986 (Felciaino), and the average age of the vines was helpful in the hot 2017 vintage. This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest divided between Merlot and Cabernet Franc, shows a restrained Bordeaux style with clove, leather, bramble fruits and a whiff of coffee powder. The palate is dominated by firm tannins and acidity, with warming alcohol. It maybe lacks a bit of suppleness, yet the finish is sweet and toasty.
