1698

2010 Bolgheri 60% Cabernet Suavignon 40% Merlot

The Antonino Tringali-Csasnuova 1698 from the esteemed Bolgheri region is a magnificent red wine that effortlessly captures the essence of its terroir. Composed of a blend of sixty percent Cabernet Sauvignon and forty percent Merlot, this wine boasts a full body that envelops the palate with rich flavors. Its acidity is bright and lively, bringing a refreshing balance to the wine, while the tannins are notably firm, providing structure and depth. The fruit intensity is prominent, with alluring notes of ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry intermingled with hints of spice and earthy undertones. This vintage, crafted in two thousand ten, showcases the harmonious interplay between the two varietals, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.

Italy's rich food and wine heritage is nowhere better demonstrated than historic Tuscany. You can eat and drink like a king here—ideally on a grand terrazza overlooking medieval hillsides strewn with olive and cypress trees. From mouthwatering whites for sipping with antipasti, to sophisticated reds that elevate the meat dishes of Florence (and of course leaving room for sweet Vin Santo with dessert), Tuscany has it all. Sangiovese is the region's star grape, giving us not just Chianti, but also Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the epic Super Tuscan blends.
