12th Gate - Due Torri
Category: Gift
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon – Napa Valley
The “Two Towers”, Torre degli Asinelli and Torre Garisendi, are prominent landmarks of Bologna, Italy, constructed by competing Italian families between 1109 and 1119. Piercing the skyline, Le Due Torri stands out during a Kappa Sigma Brother’s symbolic journey through the city and exist today as they did when the five disciples studied with Manuel Chrysoloras. As pictured, Torre degli Asinelli is taller than its neighbor Torre Garisendi. Both towers lean, though Torre Garisendi’s angle is more prominent.
Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
