Tasting Notes

WA97
The best Cabernet Sauvignon produced on the Tuscan coast since the 1985 Sassicaia? It’s the 2001 Fidenzio, produced by this small estate just opposite the island of Elba where the superb vineyards and the elevated talents of winemaker Alberto Antonini regularly work their magic. A dense ruby-purple in color with a gorgeous nose of cassis and blackberry fruit, perfectly integrated oak spices, graphite, and chocolate, the deep and perfectly defined flavors, the purity and richness, the weight and elegance, and the refined and sensual finish are textbook examples of how exceptional this variety can be in the right spot and right hands. These, to be precise, and the wine will be good for a quarter century of continuous pleasure.
