Cabernet Sauvignon DOC TUNELLA

This red wine from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia winery Tunella is produced in the hills of eastern Friuli, on soils rich in marl and sandstone. The grapes are harvested by hand during the last week of September: the bunches are picked once they have reached optimal ripeness. This is followed by destemming and crushing, resulting in a must that is left to macerate and ferment with the skins. During this phase, frequent pumping-over is carried out to encourage the transfer of colour and tannins from the skins to the must. Once alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are complete, the wine is racked and enters the ageing phase, leading up to bottling.

Characteristics of this Cabernet Sauvignon

It has an intense ruby red colour with violet hues: the bouquet is pleasantly fruity, with hints of red fruits, spices and black pepper. Smooth on the palate, with excellent structure.
