THE STORY

Founded in 1960, in Bertiolo, Italy, CABERT has been synonymous with authenticity and the tradition of wine for over sixty years

THE TERRITORY

The wines of the north-east of Italy are frontier wines, with a special identity having its roots in the commercial spirit of Venetian merchants, and in the challenges that winemakers have always had to face in this area, quickly learning to innovate, adapt and improve.

THEIR PHILOSOPHY: LOVE, LAND, TRADITION & INNOVATION

CABERT wines are born from the love we have for our land, and from a long wine-making tradition integrated with cutting-edge technological innovations. The result is extreme attention to detail throughout all stages of production, and a deep respect for the terroir, our vines, and all their peculiar qualities. The fruit of passion, commitment and love, we dedicate our wines to all those who already appreciate them, and to all those who will soon discover them.

At Cabert, and more specifically in the Casali Roncali line, they pride themselves on producing wines that express the unique terroir of the vineyards. The dedication to sustainable practices and meticulous attention to detail ensure that every bottle of Casali Roncali wine delivers a memorable experience.

Wine Spectator Award for Castello di Bolgheri

Castello di Bolgheri’s Bolgheri Superiore 2020 recently received 94 points from Wine Spectator.

Aging:

Aging for 20 months in wood, of which the first 12 in 500-litre barrels and the following 8 months, once blended, the wine complete its aging in 35 hectoliter oak barrels.

The blend of this wine is:

75% Cabernet Sauvignon

18% Cabernet Franc

7% Merlot

Points

Tastingnote:

This red leads off with ample iron and savory aromas and flavors, courtesy of eucalyptus, wild rosemary and mineral notes, all framing the core of pure black currant and blackberry fruit. Taut and firmly built, with fine length. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2040. 2.500 cases made.

The heart of the wines’character:

The soil is calcareous with PH8, a mix of clay-sand-limestone. In the best Cru we find a good presence of pebbles with alkaline pH: this combined with limestone is at the heart of the wines’ character. This type of soil yields wines with fine and soft tannins, a low and well integrated acidity and great depth of flavour.

For the factsheet with all details, take a look at:

The origins of the estate have ancient roots, ever since the property was in the hands of the Counts della Gherardesca. Since the mid-nineties, resuming the family’s secular tradition, Federico Zileri Dal Verme has been at the heart of the project “Azienda Agricola Castello di Bolgheri”, a path made of passion and commitment, shared with his parents and a first-rate team.
