Dulcamara was the very first label from the certified Organic i Giusti e Zanza winery. It is a classic ‘Super Tuscan’ composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon. In some favourable vintages it is aided by a share of Cabernet Franc, for a total of 70% of Cabernet. The blend is completed by Merlot and a small amount of Petit Verdot.
Dense, deep purple.Scents of berries, blackberries, black currant and blueberries, together with notes of liquorice and crème de cassis.Broad and powerful, marking the presence of ripe fruit balanced by a sound acid structure. The tannin has a smooth and velvety texture despite its strong presence. Long and juicy, engaging.
Food match: This wine matches well slow-cooked game meat, or braised meat perhaps cooked with the same wine. It is also excellent when matched with fat soft cheeses and truffles.
This is always a focused and energetic red for the cellar although it's starting to look a little old-school with all the new wood on the palate. Full body. Chewy. Plenty of vanilla with the ripe fruit character. Give it two or three years to soften.
