Abreu, Thorevilos Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_italy Black cherry and blackcurrant fruit

Black cherry and blackcurrant fruit with some licorice and truffle are all present in this dense purple wine

Fine-grained tannins sneak in very slowly and meld seamlessly with the energetic fruit

There are differences in texture between the two years

as it needs at least several years in bottle to be at its very best

Abreu, Thorevilos Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_italy Black cherry and blackcurrant fruitGrown on white volcanic ash soil, the deep garnet purple colored 2014 Thorevilos Proprietary Red has a very meaty nose with charcuterie, beef drippings, truffles and wood smoke over spice cake, blackberry tart, warm blackcurrants, earth and anise plus a waft of cedar chest. The palate is very firm, grainy, lively and taut with loads of earthy savory layers and great length.
