CARATTERISTICHE SENSORIALI
If you are searching for a red wine of great character and structure, the Drei Donà Tenuta La Palazza Magnificat Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is undoubtedly an excellence to discover. This wine is produced at Tenuta La Palazza, located in the heart of Romagna, a region increasingly recognised as ideal not only for indigenous grape varieties but also for international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2020 vintage was particularly favourable: a warm, sunny summer followed by a mild autumn allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and fully. This resulted in a wine rich in aromas, with well-structured tannins and remarkable elegance. Tenuta La Palazza is situated on clay and limestone soils, with a unique microclimate that combines proximity to the Adriatic Sea with fresh breezes from the Apennines. These conditions impart balanced freshness and aromatic complexity, enhancing the distinctive character of the Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cabernet Sauvignon grown here is notable for intense aromas of forest fruits, spices, and subtle herbaceous notes, maintaining a pleasant freshness alongside soft yet assertive tannins. The vinification process includes controlled fermentation in stainless steel, followed by 18 months ageing in French oak barriques, which adds complexity and a enveloping structure to the wine. Visually, the Magnificat 2020 displays an intense, luminous ruby red colour. On the nose, it releases aromas of black cherry, blueberries, black pepper, tobacco, and delicate hints of vanilla and toast. On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a long, persistent finish that recalls the fruit and spice notes perceived on the nose. Behind this wine lies the passion of the Drei Donà family, who have long embraced organic and sustainable viticulture to best express the Romagna terroir. Tenuta La Palazza is one of the estate’s flagship properties, where meticulous care is taken to produce wines of the highest quality. The Magnificat Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 has received excellent accolades, confirming its status as one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons produced in Romagna. This wine is perfect to accompany substantial dishes such as red meats, game, and aged cheeses, offering an intense and refined tasting experience that expresses the power and elegance of carefully cultivated Cabernet Sauvignon in the heart of Romagna.

The Tenuta La Palazza was built between the cities of Forlì and Predappio in a strategic position between the valleys of the Montone and Rabbi rivers, around one of the watchtowers that Caterina Sforza ordered to build to defend her possessions. The estate, owned by the Counts Drei Donà since 1923, has always been dedicated to the production of Sangiovese grapes. The company underwent a radical transformation in 1979, when Claudio Drei Donà took over the management, together with his son Enrico. Of the 23 hectares cultivated under organic farming, the majority is dedicated to the Sangiovese vineyards from which the classic Predappio Doc "Notturno" and the Riserva "Vigna del Pruno ” are produced. The futurist vision of Count Claudio also gave birth to "Il Tornese" , the first great white wine from international grapes in Romagna and the red "Magnificat" , a "single vineyard" from the first Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard planted in this region. The particular names of the wines deserve a mention: in fact, they were baptized with the names of the horses of the small family breeding farm.
