Carapetto Cabernet Sauvignon IGT Marche by Fontezoppa is born in the heart of the Marche hills, where the temperate climate and thermal excursions favor the balanced ripening of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This wine, an authentic expression of the internationally cultivated grape variety, presents an intense ruby red color with violet reflections.

On the nose, it opens with complex aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate spicy and vanilla notes, due to the brief aging in oak barrels. On the palate, it is enveloping and smooth, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure without heaviness, balanced by a pleasant final freshness.

Perfect with red meats, roasts, or aged cheeses, this Carapetto embodies the decisive and at the same time elegant character of the IGT Marche denomination, ideal for accompanying the most important convivial moments.
