Cantina Fina "Caro Maestro" IGT 2018

Sale Price: $41.00 Original Price: $45.90

Caro Maestro ("Dear Master") is the flagship wine of Cantine Fina and a tribute to the man who shaped founder Bruno Fina's career, Giacomo Tachis. Widely regarded as the father of modern Italian wine, Tachis was the visionary behind wines such as Sassicaia, Tignanello and Turriga. Bruno worked alongside him at Sicily's Regional Institute of Vine and Wine, where he developed a deep understanding of the island's diverse terroirs and the potential of both native and international grape varieties.

Founded in 2005 between Marsala and Erice on Sicily's western coast, Cantine Fina overlooks the Mediterranean from a hilltop estate shaped by sunshine, sea breezes and remarkable vineyard diversity. Caro Maestro is a Bordeaux-inspired blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot sourced from carefully selected hillside vineyards, reflecting Bruno's lifelong study of Sicily's soils, elevations and microclimates. The wine is matured for 24 months in barrique, adding depth and complexity while preserving balance and freshness.

Rich and structured yet never heavy, the 2018 vintage reveals layers of blackcurrant, dark plum, cedar, tobacco and sweet spice. Fine, savoury tannins frame a long, persistent finish, combining the polish of a great Bordeaux blend with the warmth, generosity and character of Sicily.
