2020 Cala De' Poeti Maremma Toscana D.O.C.

A Tuscan favorite with expressive character, 2020 Cala De' Poeti Maremma Toscana D.O.C. is the latest vintage in a line of Platinum Medal-winners. This delectable red blend is produced by Castellani, a Tuscan-based family winery with four generations of winemaking experience. Dry and complex, this ruby red wine is based on the “Super Tuscan” blend, comprised of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. It sparkles with intense aromas of fresh fruit. Lively notes of cherry, blackberry, violet, and white chocolate lead to a satisfying finish with soft tannins. Known as Italy’s Wild West, the Maremma section of the Tuscan coastline has a landscape of white sandy beaches that give way to classic rolling hills covered in olive trees and magnificent vineyards. Grapes are nourished by Maremma’s sun, sand, clay, and sea breeze and then hand-picked to create high-quality wines with great character. Since 1903, the Castellani family has crafted traditional wines while embracing the latest innovations in winemaking. For Piergiorgio Castellani, “the quality of the wine begins in the vineyard.” His devotion to the land is evident in his home’s location: nestled in the center of one of the family vineyards. Discover authentic Italian flavor in Castellani’s art-inspired Cala De’ Poeti line. The labels feature reproductions of oil paintings, depicting flowers and landscapes overflowing with exuberance, much like the flavors of Cala De’ Poeti. Delicious with food, 2020 Cala De' Poeti Maremma Toscana D.O.C. is perfect as an everyday drinking wine. Pair this with grilled meats, lasagna, and aged cheeses.
