Cabernet Franc

The vines grow in the Collio near Dolegna del Collio on Eocene marl and sandstone, the so-called Ponca. The destemmed grapes undergo around ten days of maceration at no more than 24 °C; the wine is matured in stainless steel until bottling. It shows an intense ruby-red colour and aromas of blueberry, blackcurrant and raspberry, complemented by black pepper, liquorice and pronounced notes of rocket, pepper and freshly cut grass. On the palate, it is full-bodied, fresh, tannic and enveloping. With bottle age, the youthful vegetal character recedes, giving way to balsamic and spicy impressions.
