winemaker's notes:
Made from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc grown in estate vineyards in Umbria. Marciliano has a profound dark purple color and exhibits complex aromas of tobacco and slate. This wine is a great representation of Cabernet when all of nature's forces are working together. Layers of fruit are evident on the nose and on the palate, while the tannins are expressive without being too aggressive.
"Here is a knockout wine from one of Italy's most talented enologists, Riccardo Cotarella, that delivers classic Cabernet green notes followed by bursting tones of blackberry, tobacco, toasted coconut flakes, apple pie crust and ... distant hints of black licorice. The aromatic complexity is stellar and so is the velvety mouthfeel; a genuine crowd pleaser."

We recently traveled to Italy and tasted some really wonderful wines from many regions. We purchased the 2003 Falesco Marciliano and just openned it on February 17, 2007. we enjoyed the rich full bodied taste and the deep purple color. It went well with chucks of parmison cheeseand salami. We will certainly buy this wine again.
