What kind of wine is it

Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata by Isole e Olena is a Tuscan red wine made exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It is notable for its aromatic intensity, structure, and well-defined tannic texture. The vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature with extended maceration on the skins, followed by aging in barriques, resulting in a smooth, rounded, and persistent profile.

Where does it come from

This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from vineyards located in the Florentine commune of Barberino Val d’Elsa. Its Tuscan origin shapes the wine’s style and balances ripe fruit with tannic presence. The selection of grapes for this label contributes to a coherent and recognizable identity, rooted in vineyard work.

How is it produced

It is made exclusively from hand-picked and selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, with long maceration on the skins to extract color and aromatic components. After fermentation, the wine ages in barriques, a step that rounds out the structure and refines the spicy nuances.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a deep, dark ruby red color. The nose reveals a complex and intense bouquet of wild berries and ripe cherries, enriched by spicy notes. On the palate it is smooth and rounded, with balanced tannins supporting its progression; the finish is long and persistent, reflecting the extended maceration and barrel aging.

Food pairings

It pairs well with first courses and red meats, thanks to its structure and round mouthfeel that complement rich sauces and hearty preparations. It is recommended with game and aged cheeses, where its tannins and persistence accompany intense aromas and savory flavors.

When to serve it

It is suitable when a structured yet balanced red is desired, capable of accompanying a full meal. It is ideal for dinners featuring red meats, game, or aged cheeses, where its smoothness enhances the table. Extended maceration and aging in barrique support an intense and persistent profile, also enjoyable during a dedicated tasting session.
