Cabernet Riserva - Petruskellerei

The elegant Cabernet Riserva from Petruskellerei comes with a shining ruby red color in the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this Italian red wine beautifully displays expressive aromas of blackcurrant jelly, complemented by additional fruity nuances provided by aging in wooden barrels.

The Petruskellerei Cabernet Riserva presents itself to the connoisseur wonderfully dry. This red wine is never rough or austere but rather rounded and smooth. Well-balanced and complex, this velvety red wine offers a harmonious taste. The finish of this wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine region ultimately impresses with an extraordinary aftertaste. The final note is also accompanied by mineral facets from the soils dominated by gravel.

Vinification of the Cabernet Riserva from Petruskellerei

The basis for the first-class and wonderfully balanced blend of Cabernet Riserva from Petruskellerei are Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Trentino-Alto Adige. The vines here root deeply in gravelly soils. When perfect physiological ripeness is achieved, the grapes for the Cabernet Riserva are harvested solely by hand, without the aid of strenuous and hardly selective machines. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here, they are sorted and gently broken open. Subsequently, fermentation takes place in small barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the elegant Cabernet Riserva is aged for 18 months in oak barrels.
