BOTTEGA VINAI Cabernet Sauvignon

A grape variety originating from the Bordeaux area of Gironde, France, and introduced to Trentino at the beginning of the 19th century, it has spread especially in the hilly areas where it has found an ideal habitat for the production of high-quality wines. The rather limited unit production and small bunches have limited its diffusion to truly suitable areas. Often vinified in a blend with Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it is one of the protagonists of the Rosso Trentino DOC, a local expression of the classic Bordeaux blend introduced in the 1960s. Fermentation in stainless steel and subsequent ageing in wood, both French oak barriques and small Slavonian oak barrels, give intense aromas of wild berries, as well as toasted and spicy notes.
