Red wine | Tuscany, Italy
The Donna Olimpia 1898 'Tageto' is an exquisite expression of the Maremma region, crafted in the heart of the prestigious Bolgheri territory. Born from the visionary project of Guido Folonari, this wine beautifully embodies the marriage of international Bordeaux grape varieties—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc—with the unique, sun-drenched terroir of the Tuscan coast.
Upon pouring, the wine reveals an intense ruby red color with vibrant violet reflections. The nose is greeted by a complex yet clear bouquet, where notes of small red berries intertwine with elegant hints of black pepper, rich dark chocolate, and a touch of savory licorice. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance; it is harmonious and well-structured, yet remarkably accessible. The tannins are sweet and refined, leading to a lingering, fruit-forward finish that invites another sip.
This wine is a versatile companion at the dining table. Its structure makes it a natural partner for grilled red meats, traditional Tuscan roasts, or hearty first courses featuring rich meat sauces. Whether you are hosting an important dinner or simply enjoying an evening, the Tageto offers a sophisticated yet approachable experience that captures the essence of one of Italy’s most celebrated wine-producing areas. Choosing a wine from Donna Olimpia 1898 means supporting a winery committed to excellence and the authentic expression of its land, making this bottle an essential addition to any enthusiast's collection.
