Description
Scipio 2017 Cabernet Franc IGT Toscana Tenuta Sette Cieli
Scipio 2017 is a Cabernet Franc in purity signed by Tenuta Sette Cieli, a refined expression of IGT Toscana and a great personality interpretation of an international grape variety in an Italian key. Born from selected grapes and produced in very few bottles, this wine combines elegance, depth, and structure, offering a complex aromatic profile and a tasting experience of strong character.
Territory and wine style
The vineyard is located at 400 meters above sea level, an altitude that favors balance, freshness, and harmonious ripening of the grapes. Manual harvesting in October and careful selection of the bunches tell of a careful approach to quality, while vinification with indigenous yeasts and long maceration help define a rich, deep, and authentic style. Aging in French oak and subsequent resting in the bottle complete a path designed to enhance precision, complexity, and finesse.
Tasting notes
In the glass, Scipio 2017 shows an intense and seductive profile, with an olfactory array that recalls ripe fruit and spicy notes. On the palate, it stands out for its structure, balance, and a compact texture, supported by good freshness and present yet elegant tannins. The result is a deep wine, with a persistent finish, capable of expressing both energy and restraint, with that finesse that makes it suitable for moments of meditative tasting.
Recommended pairings
This Tuscan Cabernet Franc pairs well with flavorful and structured dishes, such as roasted red meats, braised dishes, game, lamb, and rich, juicy, and aromatic baked preparations. It is also excellent with aged cheeses and the more intense Tuscan cuisine, where the spicy notes and structure of the wine find a natural balance. It is an ideal choice to accompany an important dinner or a tasting menu centered around meats.
Serving temperature
Serve Scipio 2017 at a temperature of 16-18 °C. If possible, it is advisable to open the bottle a little in advance to favor the aromatic expression, especially in a wine of this level and complexity. A wide glass helps to better capture its nuances of fruit, spices, and oak.
