In Tuscany, there is a magical place, known as the Conca d’Oro. It consists of a handful of hills surrounding Panzano in Chianti, where the grapevines have always yielded wines of unusual elegance and depth, wines that preserve throughout the world the lofty reputation of Tuscany. Tenuta degli Dei lies precisely in the heart of this unique spot. It has been the historic estate of the Cavalli family for more than thirty years and for a long time the designer Roberto Cavalli has used it as a retreat from the glamour and bustle of the fashion world.

The flagship IGT Toscana Cavalli Tenuta degli Dei more than any other embodies the philosophy and identity of the brand. And that is precisely the reason that it has undergone an important evolution. In the initial vintages, its blend was comprised of all the grape varieties grown by the winery; then, from the 2008 vintage forward, Cavalli decided on a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Petit Verdot, and 15% Cabernet Franc, thus imparting that self-confident and even mysterious character that is the quintessence of its soul.

The 2018 vintage brought spring rains that led to slow ripening and a later harvest than average. Non the less, the grapes were able to achieve a slow development that led to supple, charming wines, though the best will age.
