The wine

Grillesino Maremma Toscana: The Elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon

Imagine yourself under the Tuscan sun, the sea breeze caressing the vines. It is there, in Maremma, that this red wine is born, a Cabernet Sauvignon that whispers to you the story of a unique terroir and an authentic passion.

The Heart of the Maremma: Terroir and Know-How

Maremma, that coastal region of Tuscany, is a haven of nature where mild climatic conditions and mineral-rich soils offer an ideal cradle for the vine. The Grillesino estate grows Cabernet Sauvignon there, an international grape variety which, under this sky, reveals a particularly structured and aromatic expression. This wine, the 2018 vintage, is the fruit of meticulous attention paid to every stage of its creation.

In your glass, you will discover a robe of intense ruby red. On the nose, complex aromas blossom: ripe red fruits, spicy notes and subtle herbaceous accents. On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers you a full, elegant and persistent experience. Its vinification, which combines fermentation in steel tanks and aging in wood over a period of 12 to 18 months, helps soften the tannins and perfect the balance between its acidity and its body.

Gourmet Pairings for an Unforgettable Moment

This Maremma Toscana DOC from Grillesino is an ideal table companion. I particularly recommend it with red meats, whether grilled or in sauce, as well as with game. For cheese lovers, it will pair wonderfully with aged cheeses, highlighting their intense flavors. It is a wine that invites conviviality, perfect for a dinner among friends or to mark a special occasion, transporting you directly to the heart of Tuscany with every sip.

The Grillesino Maremma Toscana DOC 2018 has an interesting detail: its Cabernet Sauvignon ferments in steel tanks before 12 to 18 months of maturing in wood, to round out its tannins. A good landmark if you're looking for a structured red without relying solely on oakiness.
