Caburnio 2019 – 0,75 L

25,00 

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Alicante Bouschet, 20% Merlot

 

A rainy and mild winter was followed by a dry and cool spring. The phenological phases proceeded normally, such as budding that took place in the last week of March. Veraison began during the second decade of July. The summer was also rainless; initially with mild temperatures, it became intensely hot from the end of July onward. The harvest was then a gallop, to pick crisp grapes and at the desired point of ripeness. The harvest of the plots dedicated to Caburnio began on August 25 with the first Alicante Bouschet and ended on September 14 with Cabernet Sauvignon.

 

A vivid ruby red; the nose opens with joyful notes of red fruit, currant, and cherry, made intriguing by an interplay of Mediterranean herbs, blond tobacco, hollyhock, and delicate spices. On the palate, it is fresh, rich, and juicy, in perfect harmony with its aromatic promise, featuring delicate tannins and a long-lasting, highly pleasurable aftertaste.
