Anselmi Realda 2023

Most consumers think of white wines when they think Anselmi but this fine Cabernet Sauvignon proves that they have more than a single string to their bow. The wine spent a year and a half in French oak barriques. Under Diam. A dark crimson hue, the nose exhibits notes of cherries and plums, graphite, blackberries, crushed herbs, bay leaves and licorice, with hints of delicatessen meats. The wine lifts even further on the palate and is full of promise. A line of juicy acidity runs the length and there is focus and energy here. A lingering finish with sleek tannins completes a very fine Italian red. Enjoy over the next six to eight years.
