The 2020 Vallepicciola Parva Domus is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine from Tuscany, Italy, that offers intense aromas and flavors with a robust structure. It is aged in French oak barriques to achieve a complex and polished character. On the nose, it offers notes of black fruit (blackberry, black cherry), baking spices, and vanilla, with some floral and spicy hints. The influence of oak adds complex layers of mocha, coffee, and smoke. Some tasters also note a hint of bell pepper and herbal aromas. The wine is full-bodied with a rich, silky core of dark fruit. Its texture is smooth and lush, with well-integrated, fine-grained tannins. The long finish features notes of coffee and vanilla. The 2020 Vallepicciola Parva Domus is aged for 16 months in French oak barriques, with 70% being new and 30% being second-passage. This substantial aging period in new oak imparts a rich profile of spice, coffee, and vanilla, which is skillfully integrated with the wine's dark fruit flavors. The result is a nuanced, powerful, and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects its Tuscan terroir.
