2015 Due di Due – Marco Bonfante, Monferrato D.O.C, Piedmonte, Italy
750 ml
60% Cabernet, 40% Barbera
In the glass the Duedidue shows an intense purple-red. In the nose it has intense spiced aromas, with scents of red fruits and pepper, with a slight wood note due to the ageing in French barriques. On the palate it is structured, velvety, with a good tannic note given by Cabernet. The great balance between acidity, body and alcohol makes the Duedidue a wine which could be stored for over 15 years. With the long refinement in the bottle it will develop aromas of coffee and cocoa.

92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 2% Malbec
Intense ruby in color, this Cabernet opens with a lovely bouquet of forward fruit, soft notes of oak from the barrel fermentation, some anise and a hint of mocha. Ripe black fruit unfolds on the palate offering cassis, blackberry and black cherry. The finish is long and lingering with a smooth rich texture. 24% of the 2017 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was barrel-fermented and barrel-aged in new French Oak. The balance of the wine was fermented traditionally, in stainless steel tanks, then moved to French neutral oak for balance.
