This vine variety is recognized as the italian Cabernet. Compared to its french brothers, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, it brings its own character that underlines a stronger personality, especially at an olfactory level. The notes that we take upon itself are often the one of the bedbug or the green pepper, that for themselves don’t outline pleasantness at all, but that exalt the identity of the wine. In this our interpretation of Carmenere, we offer a softer and more entangling wine. Each element expresses itself with a purity and a determination that makes it unique and at the same time intriguing. The little red fruits and perennial herbs are wrapped in a velvet form that makes this wine harmonious and pleasant. It could be interesting to bet on it!
