Cabernet Franc 2017 Collio DOC Ferruccio Sgubin

 Ruby red in colour, compact and dark. On the nose it is of great intensity and elegance, with both fruity and vegetable sensations. The nose-profile range moves from red-berried fruits such as black cherries, blackberry and blackcurrant to the vegetable aromas of bell pepper. The palate is important and elegant with a rich, full and pleasant body. It shows a freshness with velvety overtones. A long finish confirms and develops the nose. The grapes are collected on the basis of sensory analysis in the pre-harvest period: maturation of skins and tannins is sought. This wine ferments at a controlled temperature of 26°C. It remains on its skins for a period of 12 days. It is refined 50% in steel tanks and 50% in small oaken barrels with 500 liter capacity where the malolactic fermentation takes place for a period of 14-16 months. At the end of the maturation process, it is bottled without filtering to preserve its maximum integrity. It is refined in the bottle for at least 4 months. Grap
