Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine a wine that whispers the history of a sun-drenched land, where the Mediterranean breathes its salty breezes. Casa di Terra's Maronea 2021 is that confidence, an invitation to explore the richness of an exceptional terroir, captured in every drop.
It is in the heart of Bolgheri, this Tuscan appellation that has conquered the world, that the Casa di Terra estate cultivates its vines. Here, the clay soils rich in "scheletro" (stones) offer an ideal cradle for the Bordeaux grape varieties. This Maronea is the fruit of a precise blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, a classic duo that finds a unique expression in Bolgheri.
From the very first glance, its color promises you an intense experience, a deep and warm red. On the nose, I immediately perceive aromas of ripe red fruits, a signature of its patient aging. But beyond this fruity generosity, more complex notes unfold: coffee, undergrowth with a hint of truffle, and even leather, which testify to its character and maturity. On the palate, this wine envelops you. The tannins are remarkably fine, silky and well integrated, and the aromatic persistence is long, inviting contemplation. It ferments in steel tanks before refining in wood for at least 24 months, which gives it this structure and depth.
To accompany this Maronea, I suggest you favor dishes that can dialogue with its power and complexity. Red meats, whether grilled or simmered, are an obvious choice. Also think of game, whose intense flavors will marry wonderfully with the balsamic and spicy notes of the wine. Finally, don't hesitate to serve it with aged cheeses, which will reveal its full aromatic palette.
This Bolgheri Superiore DOC is more than a wine, it is an experience. It is the ideal companion for an exceptional evening, a dinner among friends where conversations linger, or simply a moment of meditative tasting. Let yourself be carried away by the passion and elegance that Casa di Terra has managed to instill in this bottle.
