Silvano Cabernet Franc Maremma Toscana DOC

Wine Type: Red Wine

Country: Italy

Region: Tuscany

Grapes: 100% Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes: Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is characterized by vibrant aromatic complexity: notes of wild berries alternate with spicy and toasted sensations, and black pepper. After each sip, hints of ripe fruit and balsamic notes resurface. On the palate, it is rich and enveloping, with dense, silky tannins; it exhibits great gustatory tension and long-lasting sensory persistence. The result is an elegant and powerful wine suitable for long aging.

James Suckling: “This is full of tension and energy, showing aromas of crushed blackcurrants, blackberries and dark cherries layered with savory herbs, spices and iodine. Structured and firm, with tightly wound tannins framing the succulent fruit core. Lively acidity adds tone and clarity. Drink or hold.”

Decanter: “Intense, powerful wine with damson plum, blackcurrant leaf and gamey notes. Full bodied with lovely cherry fruit finish.”

Owen Bargreen: “100% varietal, the 2021 ‘Silvano’ is nicely concentrated and delicious stuff that is already drinking very well. Menthol and dusty soils combine with dark chocolate shavings, graphite and refined tannins on the palate. Deep and rich, enjoy this beautiful wine now and over the next decade. Drink 2025-2035.”
