Showing an excellent intermix of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2011 Cabreo Il Borgo clearly highlights how a little bit of Cabernet can make a powerful statement in a Tuscan red, this wine is pretty bold. Medium ruby color; red fruit aroma, on the strawberry, raspberry side, medium depth; medium bodied, firm on the palate, strong red fruit, savory herbs and wood tannins showing in the flavors; dry, nice acidity, well balanced; medium finish, lavish aftertaste. (Tasted: July 20, 2015, San Francisco, CA)

A good lashing of oak adds spicy nuances and a layer of tannins to this black cherry-, plum- and coffee-flavored red. Fresh and firm, with the fruit playing against the tannins. Offers a long, tobacco-tinged finish.

The rest of the vineyards (25 hectares) are located in Panzano (6 Km south of Greve): they are planted with Chardonnay used to produce the 'Cabreo La Pietra".
Cabreo was conceived as an Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) wine in order to take advantage of the flexibility provided by the regulations of this type of classification. It allows the great potential of the Tuscan's terroir to produce a variety of high quality wines.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
