The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione de Marchi is a stand out among the crop of new releases from Tuscany. It shows marvelous depth and richness without ever coming across as heavy. Freshly cut flowers, mint, spices and licorice add complexity to the fruit in this stunningly beautiful, impeccable Cabernet Sauvignon. Rosemary, grilled herbs and anise are layered into the powerful, dense finish. This is a distinctly Tuscan Cabernet that is just beginning to develop its aromatic complexity in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2026.
Paolo De Marchi does so many things well. His Sangiovese based wines are terrific. But it doesn’t stop there. The wines made from international varieties are equally compelling. As if that weren’t enough, the flagship Cepparello is one of the wines of the 2009 vintage. Add to that De Marchi’s intense passion for his hillside vineyards, and you have one of the most intriguing personalities in Italian wine. I can’t say enough good things about these new releases. Isole e Olena fans will also want to check out my Cepparello vertical that appears in this issue.
