Territory and wine style

The estate is located in southern Tuscany, in the Etruscan area of the tuffs of Sovana, a unique context where the volcanic soil decisively contributes to the identity of the wine. Vie Cave 2020 takes its name from the ancient paths carved into the tuff and tells a deep connection between landscape, history, and viticulture. The Malbec, a grape variety of French origin, finds here a favorable environment and an original expression, capable of developing color, fruit maturity, and a soft but present tannic structure.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a very dark ruby red color, almost impenetrable. The bouquet is broad and complex, with hints of blackberry, blueberry, plum, and sour cherry, accompanied by nuances of coffee, bitter cocoa, tobacco, and a note of Mediterranean scrub that adds freshness to the aromatic picture. On the palate, it is rich, full, and enveloping, with velvety and well-integrated tannins, good substance, and a long finish, enriched by returns of bitter chocolate and mint. It is an elegant red wine in its intensity, designed to offer depth and pleasure.

Recommended pairings

Vie Cave 2020 pairs well with flavorful meat dishes, braises, roasts, grilled steak, and game birds. Its richness also makes it suitable for aged cheeses and dishes from structured Tuscan cuisine, such as pici with meat ragù or preparations with mushrooms and spices. It is a convincing choice when you want a wine to accompany intense and bold-flavored dishes at the table.
