Cabernet Franc Organic – Doc Carso – Castelvecchio
£26,40
Production area: Castelvecchio is a part of the Karst (Carso) area in the province of Gorizia (Sagrado City). The landscape is typical of the Karst region: arid and rocky soil with a reduced stratum of red sand but rich in iron and limestone. The area is constantly ventilated and influenced by the nearby sea.
Harvesting and vinification
The harvest takes place in the first half of October. Fermentation with maceration in steel tanks takes about 15 days. After four months in stainless steel tanks to complete the malolactic fermentation, the wine stays for one year in small barrels of French and California oak (barque). This is followed by one year in larger Slavonian and French oak (tonneau). The wine is aged in a bottle for six months before release.
