Winemaking
Traditional fermentation over 10 days in the steel tanks, followed by biological acid degradation in wooden barrels. Bottling and long maturing in bottles following 12 months in French barriques.
Our tasting note
The Cabernet Istrice has a gleaming garnet-red colour. A seductively tangy nose with coffee note and a light smoked aroma, refreshingly fruity with wild berries and black berries. The wine has a strong structure, subtle tannins and a fruity-tangy richness. The finish is long and juicy.
