Castello di Monsanto 1998 Nemo Cabernet Sauvignon (Toscana)

Country: Italy / Nemo
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Tuscany
Winery: Castello di Monsanto / Toscana

Made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon, Nemo is hard to analyze. It has typical Cabernet plum and cassis aromas, but also the scent of pickles. The palate is very soft, especially compared to the estate’s Chianti. Flavorsof soy sauce, licorice and green pepper make for a confusing palate. It has its virtues, but also some faults. Hence the rating.
