Duca di Salaparuta Suòlo 7 2020 Terre Siciliane Rosso IGT

A pure Cabernet Franc from Duca di Salaparuta, one of the bottles the house dedicates to the Tenuta di Suor Marchesa in central-eastern Sicily. The grapes are picked early in the morning and fermented in temperature-controlled steel, then aged for 12 months in French oak barriques. The wine is very aromatic, elegant and fine, with tannins woven smoothly into the whole. It suits red meat dishes, mixed grills, low-temperature cooked pheasant breast and aged cheeses. The nose shows blackberry, blueberry, raspberry jam, vanilla and noble spices. The palate has good structure, balance and soft, velvety tannins, with a finish of good persistence.
