The full-bodied Rocca delle Macìe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Roccato (with 6,500 bottles released) shows sweet fruit, dark cherry, toasted almond and milky cinnamon cream. Fourteen months of barrique aging plays a big role in the intensity and textural support of this wine. It feels rich over the palate and thick around the middle.

A nice steak wine from Tuscany, the Rocca delle Macìe 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Roccato is dark and sultry on first impression, showing a deep-garnet color with thick density. The bouquet is hearty and bold with dark fruit: prune, plum and black currant. The fruit is broken up by spice, leather and tobacco and the standard aromas you can expect of oak-aged Cabernet Sauvignon from a sunny and luminous corner of Italy.
