Cabernet Franc IGT Toscana

Tuscany
2022

100% Cabernet Franc, this is part of Ampeleia's 'Monovarietali' project, highlighting single varieties and single vineyards whose special characteristics precluded them from blending in other wines. The grapes are sourced from a single parcel called "Vigna all'Asina," This vineyard sits at 500 meters above sea level. Fruit was harvested in the beginning of October at yields of 30 hl/ha. Vinification is part carbonic (20% whole cluster) and the rest destemmed. Macerations lasted around 2 weeks.  Aged 9 months in cement tanks.

"A juicy, bright and pure cabernet franc with aromas of forest berries, sour cherries, wild herbs and crushed white pepper. It’s medium-bodied with silky tannins. Velvety and subtle, with poise and a refined, pristine texture. Bright and seductive, with a lively, succulent finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification."
