Cabernet sauvignon Vigna San Francesco 2014, Tasca d'Almerita - Tenuta Regaleali
A Cabernet Sauvignon of unusual finesse and freshness. The aromatic profile leans on balsamic notes, crunchy red fruits, and a very elegant varietal character. On the palate, it shines for its tension and precision, offering a sleek sip that departs from the typical muscularity of the grape to embrace an almost European grace. A vintage for lovers of verticality.
Cabernet sauvignon Vigna San Francesco 2014, Tasca d'Almerita - Tenuta Regaleali
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Vigna San Francesco from Tasca d'Almerita is proof of how the Regaleali Estate can excel even in a vintage considered "difficult" and cool for much of Italy. In Sicily, particularly in the high hills of Sclafani Bagni, 2014 produced a wine with a verticality and elegance that is almost Nordic. On the nose, it is a surprise of freshness: the varietal notes of green pepper and tomato leaf are elevated by hints of red currant, pomegranate, eucalyptus, and a distinct chalky mineral note. The oak aging is perfectly integrated, allowing nuances of blond tobacco and cool spices to shine through. On the palate, it is lively, slender yet deep; the acidity is the true protagonist, making each sip dynamic and taut. The tannin is delicate and refined, leading to a finish of extreme cleanliness and aromatic persistence.
