Vie Cave 2022 Malbec Maremma Toscana IGT by Fattoria Aldobrandesca

Vie Cave 2022 is a Tuscan red with a bold and contemporary profile, crafted by Fattoria Aldobrandesca, a estate of the Marchesi Antinori family in southern Maremma. Made from pure Malbec, it interprets a dynamic designation like Maremma Toscana IGT with personality, combining aromatic intensity, tasting softness, and a recognizable Mediterranean imprint. It is a wine designed for those seeking a characterful red, elegant yet also substantial at the table.

Territory and wine style

The area of Sovana, in Grosseto, offers a context suited for wines with a deep and fragrant character, where the landscape of Maremma helps define a rich and measured style. Vie Cave 2022 is born as a dry red wine with structure, featuring an international interpretation of the grape variety but firmly rooted in the Tuscan territory. Aging in French barriques adds complexity and roundness, without overshadowing the fruity component that remains the protagonist.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color with violet reflections. On the nose, ripe red fruits, blackberries, and plums emerge, accompanied by spicy nuances and hints of vanilla, cocoa, and leather. On the palate, it is soft, round, and enveloping, with elegant and well-integrated tannins, good structure, and a long, savory, and balsamic finish. The sip maintains balance and depth, offering a pleasant sensation of fullness without being heavy.

Recommended pairings

Vie Cave 2022 pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, beef tagliata, rib steaks, and gourmet hamburgers. It is also ideal with more flavorful Tuscan cuisine, such as stewed wild boar, Cinta Senese stew, and pici with intense sauces. Excellent also with aged pecorino cheeses and washed-rind cheeses, thanks to the combination of substance, softness, and aromatic persistence.

Serving temperature

The ideal temperature to serve Vie Cave 2022 is between 16 and 18°C. Serving in a wide glass for structured reds enhances its aromatic expression. If opened a bit in advance, it can gain further harmony, especially in the early years of bottle evolution.
