Descrizione

The Cabernet Sauvignon Rosso Carso DOC from Castelvecchio is a captivating wine that reflects the uniqueness and purity of the Carso terroir. Thanks to the influence of its particular microclimate and the limestone-rich soil, this wine boasts a remarkably solid structure and a distinctive character.

On the nose, Castelvecchio's Cabernet Sauvignon releases intense notes of ripe berries, mixed with hints of aromatic herbs and a light spicy vein, indicative of its aging in barriques. On the palate, it opens with robustness, displaying well-structured yet elegant tannins, promising favorable evolution over time.

Concentrated and complex, this wine is ideal for pairing with hearty dishes such as meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 18-20°C to enhance all its qualities.

The excellence of this Carso DOC Cabernet Sauvignon from Castelvecchio is not only found in the glass but also in the strict adherence to sustainable viticulture practices that the winery employs to preserve its land and the quality of its wines.
