VAT included
Cabernet Franc from the Letrari winery is a representative wine of the Trentino area, where the company has its vineyards, located to be precise, in the province of Rovereto. It can count on 23 hectares of vineyards on which the typically Mediterranean microclimate and the soil with a particular composition and very rocky act simultaneously to give life to excellent grapes. As suggested by the name itself, this wine is born purely from the Cabernet Franc vine after a long and complex winemaking process which involves maceration in steel and a series of delicate pressings to obtain all the most important components of the grapes; at the end a one year aging in oak barrels followed by six months of aging in bottle before being marketed, gives this wine special organoleptic qualities. Cabernet Franc is a large red with a compact ruby color that demonstrates the consistency of this wine; the taste is well structured and soft. Precisely for these characteristics it is particularly suitable to accompany meals.
