About Cavalli Tenuta Degli Dei 2013 Toscana IGT
The bond between Tommaso Cavalli and his land has its origins in a true passion which has taken shape in the form of the estate owned by the family since the early seventies, Tenuta degli Dei, to which Tommaso and his father Roberto (yes, the world famous designer) have devoted thirty years of intensive work. The estate is located in the village of San Leolino, near Panzano in Chianti. Tenuta Degli Dei embodies the Cavalli family’s lifelong commitment to farming, wine-making and horse-breeding, the symbols of Tuscany in the world.
The blend is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Petit Verdot and 15% Cabernet Franc. It spends 18 months in oak, some new, and then aged in bottle for an additional 18 months. We were blown away by the sheer quality here, and how well this wine has aged over the past decade... and we knew our Tuscan wine loving customers would agree. But you don't have to take our word for it, check out what all the critics have to say about this hidden gem!
James Suckling 94 Points
Dark blueberry and shiitake mushroom turn to mineral and blue fruits. Full body, juicy and rich. Soft and round. Gorgeous. Rich style but remains so velvety.
Wine Advocate 93 Points
The 2013 Cavalli is a terrific expression from a crisp and cooler vintage. The wine is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Petit Verdot and 15% Cabernet Franc, aged in oak for 18 months and in bottle for an additional 18 months. I should underline that the Petit Verdot percentage plays a much bigger role in this vintage and I'm told this will also be the case in the future. The bouquet here reveals dark tones of spice and black fruit, and the wine offers the thick color saturation and fruity concentration to match. The finish is layered, rich and opulent.
Wine Spectator 92 Points
Concentrated black cherry, plum, vanilla and toast aromas and flavors highlight this muscular red. Solidly structured, with brisk acidity driving the mineral-tinged finish. Should improve over the next few years. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2018 through 2025. 2,000 cases made.
Vinous 92 Points
Cavalli's flagship 2013 Tenuta degli Dei is full of personality. Herbs, tobacco, licorice and lavender give the 2013 its Cabernet Sauvignon-inflected upper register. Dark and textured on the palate, but never heavy, the 2013 is all class. Silky yet potent tannins support a super-expressive finish laced with dark red fruit, smoke and French oak. This is an especially restrained style for Panzano. -- Antonio Galloni
