Cabernet Franc, Borgo Gortani 2023 (750 ml)

Cabernet Franc je sorta koja se već neko vrijeme uzgaja u regiji Friuli, iako potiče iz sasvim drugačije klime – doline Loire u Francuskoj – ali izgleda da izuzetno uspijeva u ovom kutku sjeveroistočne Italije. Ovaj konkretan primjerak vinifikovan je isključivo u inoxu, kako bi se sačuvala njegova svježina i voćnost. Sjajne rubin crvene boje, nudi buket pun zrelog cvijeća, bobičastog voća i nara… vrlo je pitak, svilenkasto gladak i harmoničan. Odličan je izbor uz mesne predjela, pečenja, živinu i poluzrele sireve.

Cabernet Franc is a varietal that has been cultivated in Friuli for a while now, and though it originates in a very different climate (the Loire valley of France) it seems to thrive in this particular corner of north-eastern Italy.   This example is vilified exclusively in stainless steel in order to preserve the its freshness and fruitiness.  A bright ruby red in colour, it presents a bouquet loaded with mature flowers, berries and pomegranate ... it is very approachable, silky smooth and harmonious.  It's a very good pairing for meat appetizers, roasts, poultry and semi-mature cheese.
