The Fattoria Aldobrandesca estate is located in the southern part of Tuscan Maremma, in the middle of what is historically known as “the Etruscan Tuff zone”.

The estate’s 100 hectares (247 acres) of vineyards are on the slopes of a spur of rock where the hilltop town of Sovana is located, surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape of remarkable archaeological importance.

Vie Cave was created after very careful geological and oenological research intended to release the potential of this new variety in the Italian viticultural scene. Malbéc, a French grape, thrives in Maremma’s volcanic soils, prospering in its new terroir. 

Tasting Note: An intense complex nose offers notes of ripe blackberries, blueberries, plums, and sour cherries that merge with hints of roasted coffee, unsweetened cocoa, and tobacco with a pleasantly fresh aroma of Mediterranean scrub. The palate is rich, with velvety tannins that sustain a lengthy finish and persistent aftertaste with hints of bitter chocolate and mint.
