Cabernet Merlot Sangiovese Description

What is Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese?

Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese is an exceptional blend that brings together the best of three iconic grape varietals. This blend, a hallmark of the renowned Super Tuscan wines from central Italy, combines the power and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, the sweet, juicy fruit flavors of Merlot, and the rustic, sour-cherry tang of Sangiovese. The result is a wine that perfectly balances elegance, robustness, and a distinctively Italian character.

At Famelounge-PS, we are proud to offer a curated selection of Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese wines, each bottle showcasing the harmonious interplay of these three varietals. Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast or exploring new flavors, our collection promises a unique and delightful tasting experience.

Ideal Growing Region is Tuscany, Italy: The Birthplace of Super Tuscan Wines. The heart of Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese production is Tuscany, where the unique climate and diverse soil conditions are ideal for cultivating these grapes.

Tuscany’s unique climate plays a pivotal role in producing the exceptional Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese blend. The region’s hot, dry summers ensure the grapes achieve optimal ripeness, concentrating their flavors and enhancing their complexity. Mild, wet winters provide the necessary moisture to sustain vine health throughout the year. Significant diurnal temperature variation—warm days followed by cool nights—balances ripeness with acidity, which is crucial for developing the wine’s intricate flavors. Additionally, coastal influences, particularly the moderate temperatures and cooling breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea, create an ideal environment for Cabernet Sauvignon, helping to further refine the wine’s structure and elegance.

Tuscany’s diverse soil profiles play a crucial role in the cultivation of Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese grapes. The calcareous clay soils, favored by Sangiovese, excel in retaining moisture, contributing to the grape’s signature minerality and complexity. On the other hand, the fertile, well-drained soils are perfect for the vigorous growth of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These ideal conditions ensure that the grapes develop rich, concentrated flavors while retaining their natural acidity, which is essential for creating balanced and structured wines. The combination of these soil types in Tuscany’s vineyards supports the harmonious blending of these varietals, resulting in wines with remarkable depth and character.

The aromatic and flavor profiles of Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese wines are truly captivating. Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese wines offer an aromatic symphony and a flavor profile that is both complex and inviting. From Sangiovese, you’ll experience enticing notes of black cherry, red plum, dried herbs, and a rustic forest-floor aroma that transports you to the heart of the Italian countryside. Cabernet Sauvignon contributes deep and intense scents of blackcurrant, cassis, and dark cherry, complemented by intriguing hints of tobacco, cedar, and graphite that add layers of sophistication. Meanwhile, Merlot brings a luscious bouquet of ripe plum, blackberry, and blueberry, rounded out by subtle nuances of chocolate, vanilla, and spice, creating a smooth, velvety texture on the palate. This blend harmonizes the best attributes of each grape, resulting in a wine that is rich, balanced, and full of character.

The flavor profile of Cabernet-Merlot-Sangiovese wines is a delightful fusion of the unique characteristics of each grape variety. Sangiovese brings a vibrant, tangy edge with its sour cherry and red currant notes, complemented by hints of tomato leaf and earthy undertones, finishing on a savory note that lingers on the palate. Cabernet Sauvignon adds depth and structure, contributing flavors of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, along with herbal and mineral nuances and firm tannins that provide a robust backbone. Merlot rounds out the blend with its lush, velvety texture and rich flavors of ripe plum, berry, and mocha, adding a smooth, approachable quality that balances the wine’s complexity. Together, these varietals create a harmonious and layered wine that offers a truly captivating tasting experience.

When these varietals are blended, the result is a complex, layered wine that offers a seamless integration of fruit, acidity, tannins, and oak. Whether crafted for early enjoyment or aged for greater complexity, these wines are a true testament to the art of winemaking.
