94 Pts Wine Enthusiast	"The 2009 vintage was on the hot side in most parts of Tuscany, but vintner Tommaso Cavalli has done a wonderful job of creating balance and harmony in this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Plush black-fruit flavors are followed by tight, polished tannins. Hold this for 10 years or more." Reviewed April 2015

92 Pts James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com	"Currant and blueberry character with hints of cocoa powder throughout. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now or hold." 11/26/2012
92 Pts Antonio Galloni - Vinous	"The 2009 Tenuta degli Dei boasts gorgeous depth and purity. Sweet red cherries, licorice, mint and flowers are woven together beautifully in this centered, impeccably poised wine. Sweet floral notes reappear on the attractive, polished finish. The flagship Tenuta degli Dei is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and 15% Petit Verdot." Reviewed June 2012

Description:

"Elegant, intense ruby with violet highlights. The nose is complex, with blackberries and prunes on the initial attack that give way to very fresh, inviting balsamic accents, and lead into tobacco, spice, and cinnamon. On the palate it's broad and well structured, with a nice balance between tannins and alcohol, and enticing acidity. The finish is long and savoury. Food-wine pairings: Stewed and braised meats, select cheeses." - Winery Tasting Notes

About the Winery
"Tenuta degli Dei has been owned by Tommaso and Roberto Cavalli for well over thirty years. Their winemakers, Gioia Cresti and Carlo Ferrini - Wine Enthusiastâs 2007 winemaker of the year - have worked together since 1998. The estate is located in the village of San Leolino, near Panzano in Chianti, one of the loveliest regions in the Tuscan countryside. Nestled in the famed Conca dâOro (the "golden basin"), the vineyards benefit from ideal geographic and climatic conditions for viticulture. Their wines also contain juice from grapes grown in vineyards just south of the city of Florence. Both areas receive prime southern sun exposure. Panzano's soil type is mixed, rich in the marl-based soil known as galestro, and well-drained, allowing the vines to absorb all the minerals in the soil and transfer the characteristics of the terroir to the grapes. Florenceâs soil, high in clay, produces grapes rich in tannins and polyphenols.

All grape varieties grown on the estate are of French origin: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Alicante Bouschet. The winemakers are committed to making quality wines and therefore insist on hand-harvesting, as well as a two-step hand-selection process, to insure that only the best grapes are selected for fermentation. Once the grapes are manually removed from the vines, they are transported to the winery in refrigerated vans to preserve their integrity. Upon arrival, the grapes undergo two rounds of manual selection: one round for clusters, and one round for individual berries. Maturation takes place over 18 months in French-oak barrels, after which the wines are bottle-aged for 12 months.

Each vintage of Cavalli Tenuta degli Dei "wears" its own distinctive print from the familyâs renowned fashion house on its label as a way of distinguishing between vintages. This practice creates a visual link between the family's longstanding creative tradition and their enduring passion for wine." - Distributor's Notes
