Note di degustazione
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the 2010 Maurizio Zanella is a bold and penetrating wine. It boasts the richness of the varieties used in the blend and the smoky spice inherent to aging in French oak. But this wine from the Sebino IGT appellation in northern Italy shows sharper contours and a fresher style compared to the same Bordeaux grapes from Tuscany or central Italy. There is great definition here in the form of blackberry and dried cherry. The wine should continue its evolution over the next ten years.

IGT named after Sabine as in Sabine women, rape of. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc – average age 17 years. Grapes treated separately. 70% new oak for 17 months. Sulphur dioxide is less than 45g/l. Subtle, limpid crimson without any excesses and a very dry finish. More restrained than most 2010 Bordeaux left bank wines. Admirably restrained but at around £30 a bottle or more, no-one would accuse it of being underpriced. (JR)
