WINE DESCRIPTION

Altamura Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by Altamura Winery, a family-owned winery located in Napa Valley, California. The wine is made from grapes grown in the estate vineyards, which are situated in the foothills of the Vaca Mountains. The vineyards are known for their unique terroir, which includes volcanic soils and a warm climate that allows the grapes to ripen fully. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting the grapes, fermenting them in small batches, and aging the wine in French oak barrels for two years. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with rich flavors of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, balanced by firm tannins and a long, smooth finish. Altamura Cabernet Sauvignon is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality, Napa Valley Cabernet.
