Let’s talk about Locone Cabernet Castel del Monte DOC - Magnum - Biologico - Tenuta Bocca di Lupo

More questions

The Locone Cabernet from Tenuta Bocca di Lupo presents as a red wine in magnum format, organically certified and linked to the Castel del Monte DOC. In the glass it shows an intense ruby colour; on the nose there are notes of ripe dark fruit, light vegetal hints and touches of sweet spice. The structure is balanced, with noticeable but well‑integrated tannins and an acidity that supports the sip without overpowering it. It suits those seeking a decisive yet not overly aggressive red.

It is recommended to serve at a moderate temperature and to pair with roasted meats, light game or aged cheeses, while also fitting heartier Mediterranean dishes. The magnum format supports steadier bottle development and provides a striking presence for convivial occasions. Ideal for those who want a characterful organic wine to present at the table or to give as a gift, keeping realistic expectations about its evolution over time.

Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in the Murgia, in the countryside of Minervino Murge, within the Castel del Monte DOC area. The vineyards are cultivated on nutrient‑poor calcareous soils at elevations of around 250–300 meters above sea level, and the landscape is characterized by climatic and soil conditions that favor elegant, well‑defined wines.
