Notes of ripe black plum, blackberry compote, and Black Forest cake, layered with hints of cedar spice and subtle cocoa. The wine reveals a delicate mid-palate, with well-rounded tannins that complement its elegant weight and the poised, well-balanced acidity that is characteristics of Cavalli.

In the cellar
The Cabernet Sauvignon underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with 3 to 4 pumpovers per day to promote gentle extraction.
In contrast, the Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc were fermented in small open-top vessels, where manual punchdowns were carried out 3 times daily for more precise tannin management.
Total time on skins was 11-14 days. Following gentle pressing, all components completed malolactic fermentation in barrel to round out texture and integrate the oak.
Maturation took place in 225L French oak barriques for 18 months (35% first fill)
