'Hollaia' Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon
|
The "HOLLAIA" Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon blend (a play on the Super Tuscan wines such as Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Solaia), was first released in 2003 and has since made a name for itself internationally with the 2005 impressing Jancis Robinson as her wine of the week a few years ago. The blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon is altered each year to maintain its early drinking, food friendly style. It is a wine of intrigue and generosity displaying both sweet fruit and the more savoury flavours typical of Sangiovese. The Hollaia matches perfectly with a vast number of food styles, but is especially tasty with Ragu alla Bolognese and similar dishes. Drink now or cellar for a 3-5 years. |

2008 Vintage Reviews'Good crimson hue; sangiovese now accounts for 70% (previously 50%) of the blend; savoury black fruits and sour cherry have the expected structure, especially the extended tannins of the sangiovese. Screwcap.' 90 points |
