2218

Grape Variety

Cabernet Sauvignon

Producer

Cinciano

The only red wine produced at Cinciano that is not 100% Sangiovese, Pietraforte is based on equal amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with 20% Sangiovese. The 2016 is deep plum in colour with bright fruit aromas of plums and cherries. It remains youthful on the palate with intense flavours of red cherries, strawberry jam and vanilla. It has a grainy texture leading to a chewy finish and lingering bitter cherry flavours. It was matured for 12 months in medium-toasted French oak barrels and larger vats. It will continue to develop.
