The poet of the reds.
If the Cabernet Sauvignon is the cornerstone, the Cabernet Franc is the verse written in the margins — lighter on its feet, more aromatic, more inclined to surprise you. It carries a perfume the bolder reds don't: violets, crushed red berries, a turn of fresh pepper. There's restraint here, and restraint is its own kind of confidence.
Vitorio loves this wine for its honesty. It doesn't hide behind oak or weight; it tells you exactly what the season gave it. Pour it a touch cool and it sings.
Appearance: Bright ruby, medium depth.
Nose: Violet and raspberry with a savory edge of bell pepper and cracked peppercorn.
Palate: Medium-bodied and lifted, red-fruited, with soft, supple tannin.
Finish: Clean and peppery, with lingering florals.
A natural with herb-forward dishes. Pair with roast lamb and rosemary, mushroom risotto, herbed roast chicken, or grilled vegetables. On the board, fresh goat cheese or a young Comté. Serve slightly below room temperature.
