Caburnio 2019 – 0,75 L

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

The winter was normally rainy and mild, with some sporadic drops below freezing at night. Budding occurred in the third decade of March. The spring was cold and very rainy, which slowed down vegetative growth. The veraison took place from mid-July onwards, later than our averages. The summer was hot but not scorching, cooled by a bit of rain in mid-July. The harvest was linear, hot, interrupted by a shower on September 22nd which however did not disturb the ripening of the later varieties. The harvest of the plots dedicated to Caburnio began on September 6th with the Merlot and ended on the 28th with the last Cabernet Sauvignon.

Of a brilliant ruby ​​red, the nose offers persuasive notes of berries and black cherries, hints of sage, thyme and sweet spices. The sip is soft and enveloping, with an aftertaste of leather and Mediterranean scrub. The tannic grain is subtle and ripe, and accompanies a persistent and very fresh finish.
