Vallepicciola Mordese Cabernet Franc 2022

100% Cabernet Franc

Conducted in temperature-controlled cement vats with maceration on the skins for 20 to 25 days.  Transferred to French oak barriques to undergo malolactic fermentation.  Matured for 12 months in French oak barriques (70% new, 30% second-use), followed by 8 to 10 months of refinement in the bottle prior to commercial release. An intense ruby red color. The bouquet features distinct notes of blackberry, dark pepper, and integrated balsamic spices, opening up to a velvety, full-bodied palate with smooth, refined tannins. 14% ABV
