La Tunella - Cabernet Franc

Grape Variety:
100% Cabernet Franc

Vinification:
The grapes are harvested at the perfect degree of sugar and phenol content, then stripped and crushed. The resulting must is then allowed to macerate and ferment on the skins in steel vats. During this period, remontages are carried out frequently to favour the transfer of colour and noble tannins from the skins to the fermenting must. After drawing-off, the end of alcoholic and malolactic
fermentation is awaited and the racking is carried out with the wine pouring under gravity into 2,500 litre French oak barrels in the cellar where it matures until the month of February, when it is bottled.

Colour:
Intense and vivid ruby red, developing into a garnet red with age.

Notes on flavour and bouquet:
The highly intense and elegant initial impact releases fruity and grassy notes.
The scent spectrum ranges from red berries, such as wild black cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, through to the herbaceous flavour so characteristic of the variety, all mixed in a memory of the toasting of the wood, barely perceptible. The palate is ethereal, elegant and imposing, with great character, a generous, pleasant body and a long finish, confirming and augmenting the nose.

Serving Temperature:
16 - 18 °C

Serving Suggestions:
The perfect accompaniment for red meats, game and well matured cheeses.

Manufacturer: La Tunella

Format : 0,75
Alcohol Content : 13,5% Vol.

A journey among the Friulian Mounts with Tunella
Tunella was born where the cold and rigid winds of the Julian Alps meet the mild winds of the Adriatic Sea, which give rise to a contamination unique in Italy and beyond. The phrase "authentic hill art", which accompanies the logo of the winery, perfectly describes the result of this integration: a territory that is the exact middle ground between the mountainous and flat morphology. In turn, the production is faithful to the vocation of the territory, with 70% white grapes (which give life to white wines of great elegance, structure and longevity) and 30% red grapes, embracing both native varieties such as Ribolla Gialla, Verduzzo Friulano, Malvasia Istriana, Refosco and Schioppettino and international ones such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Pinot Nero and Merlot. Tunella is also at the forefront of an eco-sustainable agricultural and production policy, which limits treatments in the vineyard to a minimum and uses clean energy from photovoltaic panels for activities in the cellar.
