Login or register to see the price.

For over five years, Cabreo has expressed the perfect harmony between tradition, innovation and suitability for the territory in which it is born: Greve in Chianti. This wine is the result of a careful blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, which respectively give softness, strength and elegance, and of a long aging in small French oak barrels. Tenute del Cabreo extends over two areas within the municipality of Greve in Chianti: Zano located between Greve in Chianti and the historic village of Montefioralle and Casa di Sala in Panzano in Chianti on the highest hills of the Chianti Classico area. Soils rich in gravels and marls deriving from the Pliocene epoch for the Zano estate and white clays and schist rocks (galestro) in Panzano in Chianti characterize the elegance, longevity and complexity of the grapes grown in these lands. In the early 1970s Ambrogio and Giovanni, after careful observation of French viticulture, selected clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot which, together with the native Sangiovese, they used for the production of Super Tuscan Cabreo. The Chardonnay and Pinot noir grapes, on the other hand, were better suited to the Panzano area where, higher altitudes and soils rich in calcareous clay recalled the renowned Burgundy terroir.
