Price Drop: La Bollina Corte Medicea Eklektos Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Most wine lovers know that producers in Tuscany started playing around with the Bordeaux varieties a few decades ago. They were willing to give up their highly-regulated regional classifications in the pursuit of creating the best wines. There was great success, both in the bottle and in the market. Nowadays, it’s no big deal to see a Tuscan winery release a cabernet. This one is so good, Luca Maroni has not only given it 99 points AGAIN, but he’s named it the best Italian wine of the year, AGAIN. You can’t really do better than that. It’s cabernet as you essentially know it, with structure and tannin to carry a profile of plums, blueberries, mocha and spice. Luca thinks it’s pretty perfect and we’re not gonna argue with that.
