2008 Paolo & Bone Sangiovese Cabernet
From only $33 per bottle................. SAVE $60 per case.
Paolo and Bone is a partnership between Paul Bottin and myself . After five years of planning and a dozen years of dreaming, our small batch project has finally come to life.
The two wines which have made the grade for our first release are a Sangiovese Cabernet and a Barbera Cabernet.
We look for a distinct line through our wines, a little flesh on the mid-palate and a savoury tapered finish.
Every grape is handpicked and fermented in fine oak. Only the best barrels of wine made from each vintage make it into the Paolo & Bone label. A portion of grapes from the 2008 vintage were laid out on baskets for 10 to 14 days to air dry and raisin. The wine was then fermented in American Oak, before being aged in French Oak for 20 months.
The Sangiovese and Cabernet grapes work well in tandem. This combination is known as the ‘Super Tuscan' blend in Italy - it brings out the best of both varieties.
The 2008 has the sought after cherry notes of Sangiovese and the red currant and milk chocolate of McLaren Vale Cabernet and the result is a silky wine that slowly reveals layers of character in a long, tapered finish.
The 2008 vintage is the debut release for Paolo and Bone. Only 160 cases were produced.
Cellaring Potential: 10+ years.
