Perusini Cabernet Franc 2021 - Italy

A rich, full bodied Cabernet Franc, with an elegant black fruit quality. A complex herbaceous aroma of eucalyptus and bell pepper with spicy black pepper, alongside a developing animal character. The acid and tannins are well structured and give the wine a peppery but rounded taste. 

Right on the Slovenian border in North East Italy, 3 brothers (Carlo, Tommaso and Michele) run the Perusini winery making some of the most elegant, subtle and certainly gastronomic wines you're likely to find.

The vinification took place in stainless steel tanks with specially selected yeasts. The temperature during fermentation was maintained at around 28° C. The wine was regularly punched down during the maceration period, which lasted for 18 days. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation the wine was pressed immediately. The aging was conducted in steel tanks, in order to maintain fresher vegetal notes.
