Cabernet Franc Petrucco 2021

Ruby red colour with shades of purple. Ample bouquet, an aroma of wild berries emerges over a vegetal background, green pepper and spicy smells. It comes from the vinification of Cabernet Franc grapes, cultivated in the hilly soil of the estate and picked manually, in order to preserve their integrity up to the pressing and fermentation. Maturation takes place in wood for at least 12 months and it is followed by a further refining period in the bottle of about 6 months. Contains sulphites. Produced by Azienda Agricola Petrucco di Lina e Paolo Petrucco s.s. - Via Morpurgo, 12 - 33042, Buttrio (UD) - Italy.

The producer

The estate spreads over a total area of 35 hectares, with vineyards covering about 25 hectares. Because of the focus on high quality the average annual production consists of about 100.000 bottles, as a result of an intentionally low yield. Petrucco wines, all monovarietals, are the clear expression of our land and come out of the thriving marriage between ancient knowledge and modern technology.
