“Fontecanese is the term used to refer to the terroir that influences the Cabernet Sauvignon wines from which this wine comes, planted on Galestro soils at 1,236 feet in elevation on the Montepo estate. Fermented with native yeast, it's imminently fresh and balanced between fruit, herbs, saline mineral notes, and acid tension. Pure black fruit and spiced plums mingle with cherry, blackberry, cassis, wild fennel, cigar box, and five-spice powder. Full-bodied with extremely fine, powdery tannins and unimaginable length. Exceptional and cellarworthy.”
