Cabernet Franc and Merlot in Italy are generally vinified in purity, unlike their country of origin, France, where they are combined with Cabernet Sauvignon to make the classic “Bordeaux blend”. This red is born a few dozen kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, which, thanks to its mitigating effect, allows our grapes to fully ripen, deserving the honor of naming our Adrian! The wine consists predominantly of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The proportions are therefore inverted compared to what generally happens in France, giving it a very particular character. The “Mediterranean” vinification style, with not too prolonged macerations, preserves the primary aroma and vivacity. The wines are aged in wood and cement before blending.
Intense ruby red color. The aroma recalls the main grape that composes it, offering notes of red fruit mixed with sensations of paprika, hay, licorice, and smoky notes. The velvety and non-astringent tannin fills the palate with sweetness supporting the fruitiness.
