Cabernet Sauvignon Palazzotto 2018 Jèroboam - Maculan

Maculan 's Cabernet Sauvignon "Palazzotto" is a Venetian red with a good structure and aromatic intensity, which confirms the excellent adaptation of this noble Bordeaux variety to the hilly territory and the cool and temperate climate of the Breganze area. The long aging in barrique makes the sip harmonious and evolved, giving a profile with a rather international character. The “Palazzotto” Cabernet Sauvignon was born in the Breganze estate of Fausto Maculan , one of the great names of Italian wine, a pioneer in the production of great reds in the Vicenza area. His desire to create important labels with French vines from Bordeaux led him to choose the best plots, to plant very high density vines and to drastically lower yields in the vineyard. The winery has embraced a company philosophy devoted only to excellence, made possible by a particularly suited terroir, with tuffaceous soils of volcanic origin and an ideal climate to bring the Bordeaux vines to full maturity. The grapes are harvested manually and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with a maceration on the skins for eight days and frequent punching down. After racking, the Cabernet Sauvignon rests for 12 months in French oak barrels, half new and half second passage. Cabernet Sauvignon Maculan "Palazzotto" is a beautiful interpretation of this famous Bordeaux grape, which fascinates for its complex aromas and its natural expressive elegance. In the glass it has a bright ruby red color. On the nose it releases refined aromas of small red berried fruits, licorice, red fruit, delicate spices and slight woody memories. On the palate it has important structure and body, with a long and powerful sip, dense tannins and a balanced finish.
