Caccia al Piano Bolgheri Superiore DOC

The Caccia al Piano tenuta, or wine estate, is set into the enchanting winegrowing environment of Bolgheri, where the perfect combination of Mediterranean climate and limestone-clay soils has created a terroir ideal for yielding world-class wines. The romantic Via Bolgherese, with its vineyards and olive groves, is the background for winemaker Franco Ziliani’s new adventure in creating wines that always leave their mark.

It is a careful and meticulous selection of the best grapes from the San Biagio vineyard, the most important cru of the Estate and among the most suitable in the entire Bolgheri territory. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, two vines that have found in this small paradise protected by the woods the ideal conditions to express character, structure, elegance and propensity for aging. This is the identity card of Caccia al Piano Bolgheri Superiore DOC, the new excellence created by the Ziliani family.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 14.5%

APPEARANCE
Dark ruby red.

NOSE
It expresses an uncommon intensity and depth on the nose, with notes of licorice, cinnamon, camphor and pepper open to clearly fruity, jammy and spiced hints.

PALATE
A Mediterranean hint then opens to a rich, fresh and very long tasting. Well balanced thanks to a tannic texture of rare definition, it closes with a very persistent finish that returns on slightly vanilla notes.

AGEING
The separate lots mature 1 year in French oak barrels of various toast levels, half new and half once-used. The final blend is given additional rest in both large oak ovals and barrels for another 12 months.

PAIRING
Excellent with a fillet of beef with green pepper and especially meat-based pairings.
