Product information on "Cicisbeo IGT from Le Tende Winery on Lake Garda"
The Cicisbeo IGT from Le Tende Winery is a characterful red wine that shows how expressive Cabernet Sauvignon can be in the region around Lake Garda. Power and elegance combine harmoniously here, precise, balanced, and with remarkable depth.
In the glass, the Cicisbeo presents itself in a dense ruby red with dark reflections. The bouquet is intense and complex: blackcurrants, ripe cherries, and dark forest fruits meet fine spicy notes of pepper, tobacco, and subtle roasted aromas. With a little aeration, additional nuances of herbs and mineral hints develop.
The vinification involves classic maceration to optimally extract structure, color, and aroma. Subsequently, the wine matures for several months in oak barrels, which gives it depth, supple tannins, and a delicate spiciness without overpowering the fruit.
On the palate, the Cicisbeo is full-bodied, dry, and elegantly structured. The dark fruit is juicy and clear, the tannins are present but well integrated, and the acidity provides freshness and balance. The finish is long, spicy, and harmonious, with a pleasant depth that makes you want another sip.
A red wine for connoisseurs who appreciate Cabernet Sauvignon with an Italian signature, powerful yet never heavy.
