DESCRIPTION
The essence of Mitolo Wines is rooted in centuries of agricultural and winemaking tradition. Originally from the Abruzzo region of Italy, the Mitolo family emigrated to Australia in the 1950s, bringing with them an unwavering work ethic and a deep connection to the land. Embodying the Abruzzo motto — forte e gentile (strong and gentle) — their Italian-Australian heritage sits at the heart of their quest to create remarkable wines, full of character and elegance.
Serpico is a wine unto itself — a Cabernet Sauvignon crafted using the traditional Appassimento technique, a direct expression of the Mitolo family's Abruzzo roots. Hand-harvested from the Home Block in Whites Valley, the grapes are dried for 34 days under controlled conditions, losing 30% of their weight. Exceptional concentration of aromas, naturally softened tannins, a wine of rare depth. Aged 18 months in French oak (80% new). On the nose, black truffle, mushroom, fig confit, dark cherry. The palate is sumptuous, refined, impressively long.
At the table: game, roasted rib of beef, powerful cheeses such as aged Comté or mature Pecorino.
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australie
La région viticole de McLaren Vale, située juste au sud d'Adélaïde, est très appréciée en Australie et dans le monde. Le Shiraz est en tête de la liste des vins primés de la région, ce qui fait de McLaren Vale un lieu de prédilection pour la culture de ce raisin. Le Cabernet Sauvignon est un autre cépage important, avec le Grenache et le Mourvèdre, qui, avec le Shiraz, constituent certains des assemblages GSM les plus acclamés de la région. Le Chardonnay et le Sauvignon Blanc dominent les cépages blancs de McLaren Vale, avec une pléthore d'autres spécialités régionales et internationales comme le Merlot, le Zinfandel, le Tempranillo, le Sangiovese et le Viognier qui font également leur marque.
Recommandé pour vous:
The grape-drying technique gives Serpico a richness and complexity you won't find anywhere else. Save this one for a moment that truly deserves it.
