TENUTE DEL CABREO ‘CABREO IL BORGO’TOSCANA IGT 2018

Tasting Notes: The 2018 vintage is extremely precious in terms of quality and quantity produced. Hints of dried berries, cherries, chocolate and nuts. Full-bodied and tannins perfectly balanced. Dense and abundant on the palate Reviews:

94PTS, James Suckling

This is a very pretty, with currant, cherry and some mahogany and cigar-box character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with tight, linear tannins that are long and very intense. Polished nicely. Hard not to drink now, but better in 2024 and onwards.

RP92, Robert Parker

A blend of equal parts Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2018 Il Borgo is a renewed wine with this vintage. Past editions saw a blend of mostly Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon in a supporting role. This release is softer on the mid-palate with darkly extracted fruit. The wine reveals dark cherry, spice and hints of bittersweet chocolate that give it a very contemporary, accessible personality. Fruit is sourced from across 40 hectares of vine. Production is 50,000 bottles.
