Cabernet Franc Castelvecchio Italian wine - Carso DOC from Friuli Venezia Giulia

Tasting Notes

This Carso DOC captures the distinctive personality of Friuli Venezia Giulia terroir. At 13% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Cabernet Franc 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards located in a natural park of the Karst, on calcareous rock and red earth rich in minerals, caressed by La Bora, with a climate characterized by strong temperature ranges. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks conducted by indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged 24 months between French barrique and big oak barrels from Slavonia. A wine showing the influence of the region's cool alpine breezes.
