Country: Italy Region: Tuscany Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc  Vintage: 2020 Colour:Red Style: Dry Producer: Antinori The 2017 Maremma Toscana Cabernet Botrosecco is a blend of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc from Marchesi Antinori’s property on the Tuscan Coast. This is a full-bodied expression with thick aromas of dark fruit and plum that emerge with intensity from the bouquet. There is a ripe, almost sticky quality to the bouquet that comes thanks to this hot and dry vintage. ROBERT PARKERThis will be a big hit with punters, especially during the colder weather. Rich and robust fruit with that signature Tuscan dustiness with a good lick of oak.  The  nose is rich and intense and is characterized by aromas of wild blackberry jam and hints of caramel along with well balanced balsamic sensations, eucalyptus and mint. The impact on the palate is fruity and enveloping with velvety tannins and a pleasurable finish and aftertaste of chocolate and candied cherries.
