Cabernet sauvignon 2003, Tasca d'Almerita - Tenuta Regaleali
A warm, ripe Cabernet with great personality. The olfactory profile is dominated by ripe black fruits, sweet spices, and smoky notes. On the palate, it is broad, fleshy, and characterized by an enveloping warmth that blends with a majestic tannic structure. An example of how the nobility of Cabernet Sauvignon can powerfully interpret even the sunniest vintages of Sicily.
Cabernet sauvignon 2003, Tasca d'Almerita - Tenuta Regaleali
The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon from Tasca d'Almerita, originating from the legendary Vigneto San Francesco, is tangible proof of how the Tenuta Regaleali manages scorching vintages thanks to its altitude. Although 2003 is remembered across Europe for heatwaves, the hills of Sclafani Bagni ensured temperature swings capable of preserving the integrity of the fruit. On the nose, it is a warm and "dark" wine: notes of plum jam, dried figs, and dates intertwine with hints of leather, bitter chocolate, tobacco, and a touch of quinine. The vegetal component of Cabernet evolves here into aromas of sun-dried herbs. On the palate, it is sumptuous and enveloping; the structure is powerful, with broad, ripe tannins that stretch over a dense body. The freshness, though less sharp than in cooler vintages, is present and ensures a tasting that is still balanced and profound.
