Cafaggio Basilica del Cortaccio Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Critical acclaim:

"93 points. From a special 4.2-hectare plot of Cabernet Sauvignon in Panzano in Chianti, the 2015 Basilica del Cortaccio is very true to this French grape. The wine's appearance is darkly saturated and rich, with little light breaking through. The bouquet offers full-force black fruit with shadings of spice and cedar. The wine's Tuscan side is also very apparent thanks to those Mediterranean aromas of summer cherry and Italian rosemary and dried oregano. The tannins are soft and well-integrated into the thick fiber of this medium to full-bodied Tuscan red. Open it alongside a tomato and basil tortellini. Some 25,000 bottles were made." - Wine Advocate

"93 points. A full and flavorful cab, yet there’s a linear edge running through the center palate, giving it energy and focus. Fresh, too. Drinkable, but better after 2020." - James Suckling
