INDACO TOSCANA RED 2015 750

Indaco (in-da-ko) is Italian for “indigo.” It is often the color of the sky at sunset at Tenuta Sette Cieli.

Grape Varietals:

 34% Malbec, 33% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes:

Malbec, Cabernet and Merlot come together perfectly in this stimulating, complex and structured wine, better expressing the complex and rich terroir with spicy and red-fruit aromas. Freshness, structure, persistence — this is a wine that preserves unchanged traits of the original season and terroir, intensified by 18 months in French oak.

93 Points - Falstaff, February 2019. "Dark, intense ruby red. Open and inviting nose of lush cherries, ripe tomatoes and crisp red peach underpinned by light wood savouriness. In the glass very juicy carried by well-integrated use of oak, CRISP and gripping, still young but shows a lot of ageing potential, in the overall harmony surprisingly lively and perky."

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast, Kerin O'Keefe, April 2019. "A blend of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this brawny red opens with aromas suggesting mature dark-skinned berry, Mediterranean brush and cedar. The concentrated, forward palate delivers ripe black plum, star anise and mocha alongside polished tannins. Drink through 2023."

90 Points - James Suckling, September 2018, "Very herbal and earthy character, but with enough fresh blackberries to carry this and the rather dry tannins that push through at the finish. Drink now."
