Cabernet Franc '1978' San Patrignano 2022
The Cabernet Franc "1978" from the San Patrignano winery is a bold and intense red wine, the name aims to celebrate the founding year of the renowned community. It is made with the same-name grapes in purity and aged for 6 months in second-use barrique and subsequently in bottle for another 6 months. The intense ruby red color appears almost impenetrable to the eye and the aromas released recall ripe red-fleshed fruit, green pepper, and fresh sage. The taste is broad, warm, full, juicy, and has elegant tannins.
