Tenuta degli Dei, Tuscany
An exotic assemblage of Merlot, both the Cabernets, Petit Verdot and Alicante, what particularly impresses about the wine is its restraint and elegance. Of course the fruit is there and ripe too, like any 2005 central Italian red, but there is good tannic structure, a freshness to the acidity and light alcohol unlike a number of thumping, jammy Bordeaux-based blends from the region. Beginning to drink now but well worth cellaring for a decade or more.
The Tenuta degli Dei estate
We are very pleased to introduce to our list Roberto Cavalli's Super-Tuscan blend from the family's Panzano Estate. The operation is overseen by his son Tommaso, with a guiding hand from leading oenologist, Carlo Ferrini (also consultant at San Leonardo among other top Italian producers), however the Cavalli design influence is evident from the different animal skin motifs that adorn each new release.
