THE WINE

The Cabernet Sauvignon from the Ermacora winery comes from 100%  Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. We are in the hills of Ipplis in the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Explaining this area of Friuli is difficult, you have to come and visit it to discover a series of terraced hills, protected by the Julian Prealps which enjoy the breezes of the Adriatic Sea. A set of vines alternating with woods rich in biodiversity, in short, a true paradise.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a grape variety that, thanks to its ability to adapt, is present in all wine-growing areas of the world and, thanks to this ability to adapt, it can best describe the area it comes from. In sincere wine, with a herbaceous flavor, it is a long-lived wine; it arrived in Friuli in 1800.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is by hand. Once in the cellar, after destemming, the grapes macerate in steel tanks for a period that varies between 10 and 12 days. After the fermentation phases, the wine rests, in steel tanks, for at least 12 months. After blending and bottling, it rests for a few more months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Intense ruby ​​red tending towards purple; the aroma is intense with pleasant hints of red fruit where blueberries and raspberries prevail, which leave room for hints of green pepper to close with herbaceous puffs. You can perceive hints of bitter chocolate and spices when the wine ages. Fresh and balanced on the palate with well-integrated tannins and good persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS
