[SOLD-OUT] Mitolo Serpico Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

 

 

"(made from fruit that is air-dried for up to two months; 15% alcohol): Inky purple. Vibrant, high-pitched blackberry and smoky mineral aromas, with exotic floral and spice notes adding complexity. Very ripe but energetic as well. Silky and sweet on entry, then deeply concentrated, sweet and seamless in the middle, offering dense, very intense cherry and cassis flavors. Expands with aeration and finishes with broad, suave tannins and outstanding length. I find this utterly delicious right now but have no doubt that it will reward another decade of patience." - Vinous Media

 

"This isn’t just any Cabernet Sauvignon. With our Serpico, we do things a little bit differently; we follow the traditional Italian technique of drying the grapes to produce an Amarone style wine. When Frank Mitolo decided to introduce a Cabernet into his premium ‘Mitolo’ range, he was prepared to go against the grain, and produce a unique wine style in Australia. Much like the man the wine is named after, Frank Serpico who went against all odds to expose an immense depth of corruption in the New York police force." - Mitolo
