TASTING NOTES
Donna Olimpia Tageto 2024: a prestigious red wine from the Costa Toscana IGT, rooted in the viticultural heritage of the Maremma appellation. This cuvée is composed of meticulously selected Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc grapes. It exhibits a contemporary assemblage that marries robust tannic structure, refined elegance, and aromatic complexity, achieved through controlled stainless steel fermentation and subsequent maturation in French oak barriques. The wine reveals a deep ruby red hue with vivid violet glints. Its aromatic profile is distinguished by a refined bouquet of ripe red fruit maceration, complemented by spicy undertones, tobacco leaf nuances, and subtle cocoa inflections. On the palate, it displays velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and a protracted finish characterised by liquorice and dark chocolate notes. The 2024 vintage benefits from Maremma’s terroir, where notable diurnal temperature variation and maritime influence foster optimal phenolic ripeness, enhancing both freshness and complexity within the aromatic spectrum. Donna Olimpia Tageto is ideally paired with robust red meats, slow-roasted lamb, and well-aged cheeses, suited for both convivial dining and contemplative tasting experiences. In detail, Tageto 2024 showcases an intense garnet ruby core with violet highlights. Its complex and expansive nose reveals layers of ripe red berries, bell pepper spice, dark chocolate, and liquorice harmoniously integrated. The palate is broad and well-balanced, underpinned by supple, fine-grained tannins that impart a lasting flavour persistence. The designation Tageto evokes the Etruscan mythology, lending the wine a sense of historical depth and allure, while the meticulous vinification process underscores its status as an accessible exemplar of Maremma’s enological excellence. It is an exceptional choice for aficionados seeking to explore Tuscany’s distinctive terroir through a wine of pronounced character and harmonious complexity.

Of ancient and noble origins, the Donna Olimpia 1898 estate was baptized in the same year in honor of Olimpia Alliata, Lady of Biserno and wife of Gherardo della Gherardesca on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their wedding. Located in the heart of Bolgheri , in the province of Livorno, spread over 60 hectares, 45 of which are new vineyards planted following a study on clones and rootstocks. The vines planted are obviously those whose vocation has been widely demonstrated: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot; for white wines, on the other hand, Vermentino, Viognier and Petit Manseng. Gifts of a unique territory, Donna Olimpia 1898's wines are characterized by their minerality, harmonic structure and intrinsic elegance. The estate boasts a modern cellar of 5000 square meters, designed to maximize energy savings and minimize environmental impact. It is equipped with the best available production technology, but still the aging in wood takes place in French oak barriques, so traditional. The barrel room is certainly the most important and evocative environment of the entire wine estate.
