Critical Acclaim

James Suckling

Lots of ripe blackcurrant and blackberry compote as well as eucalyptus, iodine, and crushed herbs. The palate's full but very linear and structured with fresh acidity and fine tannins.

Discover Cabernet Sauvignon Wines

Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine grape variety from the vitis vinifera grape plant species. It is the world's most commonly planted red wine grape variety, and its wines have lately been rated as the most sought-after in the world. When vinified properly, it may produce a full-bodied, complex, fruit-forward, and dry wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape owes most of its fame to its origins in the Bordeaux area of France. Traditionally, these wines have a strong crimson and black fruit flavor with a pronounced tannic component.

Because of its flavor profile and simplicity of production, Cabernet Sauvignon is a popular grape type among wine consumers and vintners both. The vines are very resilient, adapting to a wide range of temperatures and terroirs. They grow grapes with thick skins that are resistant to harsh conditions such as frost and hail.

Cabernet Sauvignon has large yields, which is a major plus for winemakers since it is one of the most popular red wines in the world.

About the Producer: Falesco

Falesco is an Italian wine producer located on the banks of the River Tiber in Umbria. He is part of the Cotarella family, which includes the Le Matsios property in Tuscany. He is best known for his Le Poggere of Est! HUSA!! HUSA!!! di Montefiascone DOC, but produces a variety of wines from all over central Italy. The portfolio includes many other wines from Est! HUSA!! HUSA!!! from Montefiascone DOC, as well as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the Tellus range of Umbrian IGT wines. The winery uses French oak barrels for aging, and some wines age in barrels for up to six months. The grapes are grown in several vineyards in the Montefiascone and Montecchio subregions. The property was founded in 1979 by the famous brothers Renzo and Riccardo Cotarella - the former is also known as the winemaker of the Antinori group, and the latter as one of the world's largest consultants. Falesco is now run by his daughters.
