GaglioleBalisca 2018

About this wine

Balisca is a bold Tuscan red that showcases the power and elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon grown under the Italian sun. This 2018 vintage from Gagliole delivers a wine that's both structured and approachable, perfect for those moments when you want something with real character.

On the nose, expect intense aromas of blackcurrant and ripe plum, layered with hints of tobacco and cedar. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins that give the wine a beautiful backbone, balanced by dark fruit flavors and a touch of spice. The finish is long and satisfying, with that classic Cabernet structure that makes you want another sip.

This wine calls for hearty dishes like bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragu with pappardelle, or aged pecorino cheese. Decant it for at least an hour before serving to let those tannins soften and the complex aromas fully develop. Serve at 16-18°C to appreciate all the nuances this Tuscan beauty has to offer.
