Cabernet Franc, Scubla (75cl)

Cabernet Franc is not typically associated with Italy, making Italian Cabernet Franc wines rare, in Italy or outside.

In Italy, the grape is mainly cultivated in Friuli Venezia Giulia, where it is often vinified as a single varietal, and in Tuscany, where it plays a key role in the making of Supertuscan blends. It can also be found in small quantities as far south as Sicily. Known for its distinctive herbaceous nose and bold palate, Cabernet Franc wines tend to be polarizing - either deeply loved or not appreciated. At Italyabroad.com we love them.

This Cabernet Franc comes from manually harvested grapes in the Colli Orientali appellation area of Friuli Venezia Giulia. It shows a complex bouquet with vegetal notes, a medium bodied palate with soft tannins, a hint of chocolate on the finish, and a beautifully balanced acidity, adding elegance to the wine.

A must try for Cabernet Franc enthusiasts or those looking to discover this unique Italian expression.
