This Cabernet Franc has a deep, ruby color. On the nose, we discover aromas of raspberry, licorice, violet and a touch of pepper. It also has a little chalky side with notes of cocoa. On the palate, we discern the violet. The wood is well melted and the tannins are tight.

  • Grape variety: Cabernet franc
  • 11.5% alc./vol. / 750 ml

Pairings

Goes wonderfully with roast pork with red cabbage, roast chicken with root vegetables, grilled sausages with polenta and tapenade, penne with prosciutto and fontina as well as a plate of charcuterie and cheese.
