The Story
Tolaini Legit Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a dense, muscular Italian red wine that pours a deep ruby red color. The complex bouquet opens with rich aromas of plum, black currant, and ripe blueberries, seamlessly integrated with notes of green pepper, licorice, mint, and graphite melted with oak vanilla and warm leather. On the full-bodied palate, it exhibits lush fruit concentration and a softly layered texture, balancing its ripe fruit core with a bright vein of refreshing acidity and a broad, firm matrix of velvety tannins. The finish is remarkably long and savory, leaving a juicy, oak-tinged aftertaste of sweet tobacco and wild herbs.
Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with grilled ribeye steaks, rich beef braises, wild boar ragù over pappardelle pasta, and aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Tolaini's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Legit is softly layered with rich fruit that amply covers the palate. The wine is not too intense; in fact, it's just right for a paring with some sort of spicy barbecued beef dish offering blackberry nuances, oak spice and freshness.
