It's great to see that Tenuta Sant'Antonio has expanded its fantastic line of Scaia entry-level wines (all closed with a handy glass cork). These are absolutely some of the best value deals you'll get from the Veneto in northern Italy. The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Scaia Torre Mellotti shows ripe fruit with barbecue spice, mahogany smoke, bacon fat, sweet blackberry confit and exotic spice. Honestly, it's almost impossible to imagine Cabernet Sauvignon reaching these levels of intensity at this price point. The hot 2017 vintage plays a big role in defining this wine.
Radiant red hues with violet reflections. On the nose, the wine has fine notes of wild berries, blackcurrant seed, subtle spicy nuances. Smooth and harmonious with notes of pepper and coffee. Good spicy finish on the palate.
Scaia is a majestic creative force driven by the Castagnedi brothers in Veneto, turning all fruit they crush into liquid gold and they've gone above and beyond with the most famous of French noble grapes. This Veneto Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the Valpolicella region where Amarone Della Valpolicella rules the roost, shows stunning character and finesse, handpicking grapes from Monti Garbi's loam rich vineyards and using the Appassimento technique traditionally used to make Amarone Della Valopolicella. The result is a stunning palate of red fruit, spice and oak driven finesse. The wine is in fact named after
Signor Mellotti who used to own a house near the vineyard which was also used as a watchtower during World War I. The wine itself shines a torchbearer for the high standards of the Italian style of Cabernet Sauvignon.
