Winemaker’s Notes: “The 2021 Collina is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon,40% Cab Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. This wine presents a deep, alluring garnet hue, displaying a radiant core suggesting both youth and promise. The bouquet opens with a poised elegance as ripe black cherries and cassis take the lead, accompanied by subtle fragrances of dark plums and blackberries, creating a harmonious symphony of dark fruit. Delicate notes of nuanced cedar and graphite add an alluring complexing to the aromatic profile. A refined entry of luscious black fruits-blackberry, currants and a hint of dark cherry-unfolds seamlessly, supported by finely integrated, supple tannins. The wine exhibits a brilliant balance, showcasing a vibrant acidity that harmonizes the rich fruit profile and adds a layer of freshness, a continued testament to our terrior and the strength of the 2021 vintage.”
