The Wine

The Cabernet Sauvignon from the Jacuss winery is produced with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in  vineyards owned by the winery that are located in Montina di Torreano in the heart of the eastern hills of Friuli. The terroir and the temperature variations between day and night make this area one of the most suitable for growing grapes in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual, and only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar for winemaking. After pressing, fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26 ° – 28 ° C. The must macerates on the skins for about 15-20 days. After racking, 50% of the wine ages 18 months in large oak barrels and the remaining 50% in steel tanks. Once this ageing phase is complete, the wine is assembled and left to rest for another six months. After bottling, the wine remains in the cellar for at least six months before being released to the market.

THE TASTING
