NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Ampeleia Cabernet Franc is an impressive Italian expression of the classic varietal.Aromas of black cherry and cassis, with hints of thyme and roasted oregano, fill the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and lush, with a core of dark fruit flavors, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, and a hint of smoky oak. The tannins are ripe and round, with an elegant balance and a long, lingering finish. A great food wine, this Cabernet Franc is sure to impress.
