Gabbro 2023

96
/100

Gabbro er Montepelosos topvin og er lavet på 100 procent Cabernet Sauvignon. Her arbejder vi med miniudbytter på maksimalt 0,8 kg druer pr. vinstok. Vinen lagres i 11 måneder i en blanding af 60 procent nye franske barriques og tonneaux, efterfulgt af yderligere ni måneder i ståltanke. Dyb, næsten uigennemsigtig rubinrød farve med en violet nuance og mørke tårer i kanten af glasset. Dette er en monumental Cabernet Sauvignon med eksplosive smagsoplevelser i glasset! BAM! Intens cassis, sorte kirsebær, brombær med grøn peber, mynte, peber og også et strejf af blomsteraromaer og smag af duftende hø. Vinen er også mega monumental og intens i munden. Men den koncentrerede intensitet er harmonisk og afbalanceret. Frisk mynte og fine krydderurter på saftig, mørk frugt med intense, gribende og samtidig modne tanniner i store mængder. En topvin fra Maremma, som mere end fortjener enhver Cabernet-elskers opmærksomhed. Desværre produceres der kun maksimalt 2.000 flasker hvert år, og vinen er derfor strengt allokeret.

Parker om: Gabbro

The estate’s top single-vineyard wine, the Montepeloso 2023 Gabbro is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented in stainless steel and aged in oak with 65% new wood. Delicate and contemplative in style, it reveals green herb and curry spice up front, followed by dark fruit and blackcurrant on the back end. The vineyard is planted to galestro clay schist over one hectare at 150 meters in elevation, a site that naturally emphasizes aromatic definition and mineral tension. Medium- to full-bodied, the wine’s lifted green note adds height and length to the palate, extending the finish rather than weighing it down. Production is limited to 2,000 bottles.

Suckling om: Gabbro

A pure cabernet sauvignon from Suvereto on the Tuscan coast showing vivid aromas of rose stems and hints of green tobacco, graphite and currant bush. Medium-bodied with linear and vertical tannins that give the wine drive and tension. Firm and racy at the end. Needs three or four years to come together.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Gabbro

Entirely Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 Gabbro pours a deep, inky red hue and is strikingly precise and mineral-driven. Aromas of graphite, blackcurrant, and pure dark fruit are balanced with savory notes of olive and herbal lift. Full-bodied yet refined, it emphasizes finesse over power, with beautifully defined tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, focused finish. There is a cooling, almost granitic quality to its structure that sets it apart stylistically. A wine of precision and restraint, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it improve over the next decade or more with its detail and balance. Drink 2026-2050.

Galloni om: Gabbro

The 2023 Gabbro, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is shaping up to a gem. Aromatic, savory and bursting with varietal character, the 2023 has it all. The style is one of tension and focus, with less of the opulence proprietor Fabio Chiarelotto preferred in his early days. Then again, the Tuscan coast provides plenty of textural intensity of its own. Cool blue-toned fruits, lavender, licorice, spicebox and a kick of blood orange are all beautifully delineated. Gabbro remains one of the most distinctive wines in all of Italy.
