About this Wine

Maestro di Cava is made from a selection of the very best Cabernet Franc sourced from 30 hectares cultivated organically. The vineyards are located at 150 metres above sea level with south-west exposure. The soil is of volcanic origin, rich in minerals and stones. The vines are 20 years old on average and trained in the Guyot system.

2018 was a challenging vintage which required careful management both in the vineyards and in the winery. The vintage was characterised by rainy and humid conditions that started at the beginning of June and lasted throughout the summer. From the second half of September, good weather led to a successful harvest, and resulting in wines of great elegance and finesse.

Fermentation occurred naturally in truncated tapered unrefined concrete vats with natural yeasts at a controlled temperature between 26-28°C. After about two weeks of fermentation, the wine was racked into large, untoasted French oak barrels, where it remained for 24 months prior to bottling. It was then kept in bottle for three months before release.

Deep ruby red in colour, this wine displays expressive aromas of red fruits with hints of tobacco and leather. On the palate it is full-bodied and juicy, with concentrated ripe black fruit flavours and fine tannins that carry onto a velvety and surprisingly savoury finish.

Wines of Tuscany

Tuscany, or Toscana in Italian, is one of the most iconic Italian regions for wine, scenery, and history. Located in central Italy along the west coast, its production of Sangiovese wines is world renowned. Some of Italy’s most famous subregions for Sangiovese such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano can be found here.

Tuscany makes both simple and top tier, age worthy Sangiovese wines. At entry-level you have a wine that is pizza and pasta friendly with bright and juicy red fruit. On the other hand, the highest quality representations of Sangiovese are remarkably complex with flavours ranging from sour cherry, balsamic, dried herbs and leather to fresh earth, dried flowers, anise and tobacco.

In evidence of the quality produced, Tuscany produces the third highest volume of DOC and DOCG quality wines in Italy, only trailing Piedmont, and Veneto. DOC and DOCG wines are the highest designation for Italian wines, while you will often see the IGT classification used to represent wines from Toscana that do not reach the standards for DOC/G.

There is another unofficial class of Tuscan wines called Super Tuscans which also command high prices. These wines are often made from international wine varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, with or without Sangiovese.
