Crazy day, but had to stop and comment on this wine so I would remembered to keep it on my favorites list. I just love Cab Francs, and this wine is one perfect reason that I do. This wine is smooth and velvety with flavors of ripe raspberries, subtle pepper, red liquorice and grass. Found this on another tab at a wine tasting I was offering.
This wine is 6-8 days is skins before malolactic fermentation begins. Then it goes to oak for 6 months and aged in the bottle for 2 more months. DOC Friuli Isonzo is a small DOC region that received its classification in 1974. One of the best Cab Francs I have ever had. Will purchase again.
