DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Classic Cabernet flavors and aromas of cassis and blackberry mark this jammy, highly extracted wine, and are offset by notes of dried herbs, spice, vanilla and cedar supported by bold, firm tannins and a long finish.Pairs well with meats, poultry, and game.The "Il Pareto" vineyard is situated amid a forest of maritime pines in the middle of the estate at Passo dei Pecorai at an altitude of 900 feet. It covers an area of 4.05 hectares (10 acres), with a small potential for expansion, on superb red vine soils, typical of the commune of Greve, characterized by an elevated content of galestro rock. The Il Pareto vineyard was planted in 1981 and grafted with a clonal selection of Cabernet Sauvignon. Vines are at a density of 4,000 per hectare and trained to a "cordone alto" (high cordon) system. Yield is restricted to roughly 30 hectolitres per hectare (two tons per acre), producing approximately 750 to 1,000 cases of wine annually. Il Pareto was first produced in the 1987 vintage, followed by the superb 1988 vintage, one of the decade's best in Tuscany and particularly in Greve. The spectacular 1990 vintage of Il Pareto established the wine internationally as one of the great Super-Tuscans.
