92 Pts Antonio Galloni - Vinous |
"The 2008 Tenuta degli Dei is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc,18% Petit Verdot and 2% Alicante. The 2008 is a big step up from previous vintages.It is an intense,breoding wine packed with jammy blueberries, blackberries, cassis and crushed rocks, all of which flow effortlessy from its structured frame. This is shows considerable textural depth and plenty of complexity. This is a very strong effort for the year. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023. This is the strongest set of wines I have tasted from Cavalli." |

"From fashion designer Roberto Cavalli and his son Tommaso,this dark, masculine super Tuscan (made with mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) features and inky, impenetrable color and tight aromas of blackberry and spice. The tannis are firm but not astringent." Reviewed 2/2012 |
Description:
The weather in 2008 was quite normal, with a good rainfall until the end of June. A mild summer, with temperatures that were high but never excessive, favored the development of good acidity and moderate alcohol level. The harvest began at the end of August with the Merlot of the Florentine vineyards, and finished in late October, with the Petit Verdot of Panzano.
About the Producer
Tenuta degli Dei has been owned by Tommaso and Roberto Cavalli for well over thirty years. Their winemakers, Gioia Cresti and Carlo Ferrini - Wine Enthusiast's 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 d'Oro (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. Florence's soil, high in clay, produces grapes rich in tannins and polyphenols. - Distributor's Notes
