Cabernet Sauvignon - Francesco Poli

The barrel-aged Cabernet Sauvignon from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region reveals itself in the glass in a radiant purple red. The first nose of the Cabernet Sauvignon flatters with nuances of blackberry jelly. The fruity aspects of the bouquet are joined by notes from barrel aging such as forest floor, blackcurrant and toasted wood.

The Francesco Poli Cabernet Sauvignon presents itself to the wine enthusiast as wonderfully dry. This red wine never appears coarse or spartan, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully dense and powerful. The finish of this red wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region, more precisely from Trentino DOC, ultimately convinces with a lovely aftertaste.

Vinification of the Francesco Poli Cabernet Sauvignon

The basis for this balanced Cabernet Sauvignon from Trentino-Alto Adige is grapes of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the organically produced Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for another 12 months in oak barriques.
