Gualdo del Re Toscana Cabraia 2021

Gualdo del Re Cabraia 2021 is a structured yet elegant Tuscan red, blending Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from the coastal Suvereto area. Its dark-berry fruit, silky tannins and measured oak maturation reflect the estate’s focus on Bordeaux varieties—a distinctive expression of a winery founded in 1953.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour with violet highlights, Cabraia opens with aromas of blackberry and blueberry, complemented by hints of vanilla and cocoa. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with dense but supple tannins and a long, satisfying finish. Its barrel and bottle maturation have brought the wine into balance, and its structure suggests it can develop further in bottle. No specific drinking window is provided.

Production
The grapes come from vineyards around 100 metres above sea level in Suvereto, where clay, stone and silt soils contribute to the wine’s concentration and firm structure. Harvesting details are not specified. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks; malolactic fermentation in wood helps soften the tannins. The wine then matures for around 15 months in new and once-used barriques, followed by at least 12 months in bottle before release.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with grilled or roasted red meat, lamb, game or mature hard cheeses. A short decant—about 30–60 minutes—can help the wine open up, particularly if it is enjoyed young.

Producer
Gualdo del Re was founded in 1953 in Suvereto, in Tuscany’s coastal wine country. The estate is known for exploring the area’s potential for Bordeaux varieties, including Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabraia was created by oenologist Barbara Tamburini and has received recognition in leading wine guides, though specific awards are not listed.
