Sangiovese (IT) + Cabernet Franc (FR) '22
A robust red with firm tannins that immediately transports you to a groovy jazz club. We’re talking leather, tobacco and sour cherry. Obviously finished with a touch of oak for a long and elegant finish. Made from sangiovese and cabernet franc grapes, we consider this one our Amsterdam version of a Super Tuscan. How about you?
Grapes
50% sangiovese and 50% cabernet franc. Sangiovese grapes from Societá Agricola Maremmalta in sunny Tuscany, Italy, and cabernet franc grapes from Chateau de la Variere in the French Loire.
Tasting Notes
This red wine blend produces a complex and robust wine. Cabernet franc brings aromas of blackcurrant, bell pepper, and spice, while sangiovese adds notes of sour cherry, leather, and tobacco. The oak aging brings subtle vanilla and toast notes to the wine. The tannins are firm and well-structured, with a long and elegant finish.
