The La Montecchia Cabernet Franc P.200 presents itself to the wine enthusiast as pleasantly dry. This red wine never appears rough or austere, as one might expect from a wine. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully meaty and dense. The finish of this red wine from the Veneto wine-growing region ultimately delights with a beautiful aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral nuances from the slate- and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Cabernet Franc P.200 from La Montecchia

This balanced red wine from Italy is made from the Cabernet Franc grape variety. In Veneto, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and slate soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and concrete at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
