Cabernet Franc

types of soil:

The Collio’s hilly terrain, formed during the Eocene period, consists of layers of sandstone and loam rock (limestone and clay) that were once part of the ocean floor. The resulting soil is impermeable, so rainwater flows off its surface, producing little erosion and preventing stagnant water.

vine training system

vinification

After destemming, the must and pulp undergo maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for a variable period depending on the year. The wine refines for twelve months in oak barrels and then six more months in the bottle

Deep ruby-red color. The nose is complex and fruity, with fruity and vegetal hints. Pronounced hints of red berry fruit - as black cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant - and of green pepper. In the mouth it is rich and pleasant, with a good balance between freshness and silkiness.
