Serpico is the flagship Mitolo Cabernet and is made using the Amarone technique of drying grapes before fermentation. This process concentrates flavour, contributing mid palate plushness, complexity and mouth coating silky tannins.
Winemaker Ben Glaetzer describes it incredibly aptly, we think, as a brooding, dark and deliciously seductive red. Its smoothness is thanks to the dried grape winemaking method, which provides intensely rich and concentrated dark fruit flavours to an already powerful grape variety ? Cabernet Sauvignon. The dried grape method also seems to soften and smooth Cabernet?s sometimes edgy tannin structure by providing a suppleness and richness to the palate.
This wine was named after one of Frank Mitolo?s heroes, namely Frank Serpico, who fought crime in the United States police force.
Like it namesake, this is powerful, structured and focussed.
This is a wine for now or the long haul in a good cellar.
From the winery
This wine is much like the man it is named after, Frank Serpico, who went against all odds to expose an immense depth of corruption in the New York police force
