Description
A truly Tuscan Cabernet, in which the great Bordeaux variety is interpreted with Maremma style: maximum ripeness and highest quality. Intense fruit, notes of ripe blueberry and wild black berries, with hints of spices that express the beauty of Cabernet without ever showing any of the varietal’s herbaceousness or greenpepper qualities.
Producer Description
To express this terrior to the fullest with new and exciting grape varieties. La Mozza consists of 36 hectares (90 acres) and lies in the Southwest corner of Tuscany’s Maremma, a dozen kilometres from the sea and 45 minutes Southwest of Montalcino. This area is much drier than the fog-draped hills of central Tuscany. The lack of morning mist means the grapes start ripening at sunrise, and are sun-drenched until sunset. Rain is scarce as the Island of Elba off the coast acts as a windbreak, shifting eastbound moisture to the north and south. Here hot-climate varieties like Syrah and Alicante thrive, and the acidic edge of Sangiovese has mutated into Morellino’s lush cherry fruit.
This is a 750ml bottle of La Mozza I Perazzi Cabernet Sauvignon. When opening the bottle, use a corkscrew carefully. Pour it into a wine glass, preferably a tulip-shaped one. You can enjoy it on its own as a fine sipping wine or pair it with red meat dishes like steak or roast beef. Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Avoid shaking the bottle too much before opening. Keep it upright when storing to prevent the cork from drying out.
