Sensory Description:

2023 Mocali Cabernet Sauvignon Maremma Toscana presents an intense ruby red hue and a layered aromatic profile of blackcurrant, fresh tobacco leaf, wildflowers, and subtle wood spice. The palate is structured yet supple, with velvety tannins framing ripe dark fruit and well-integrated oak. Mineral undertones drawn from marl and sandstone soils lend definition and freshness, while balanced acidity carries the wine through a persistent, fruit-driven finish. The combination of stainless steel fermentation and measured barrel aging results in a Cabernet that is both polished and expressive, capturing the warmth and depth typical of coastal Tuscany while maintaining clarity and poise.
