Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.
Venetian DOC south-west of Padua, volcanic hills with basalt and limestone soils (~1,300 ha). Accessible and varied palette. Supple reds: Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (blackcurrant, plum, herbs), peppery Carmenère, native Raboso tannic and tangy (black cherry, spices), aromatic Marzemino. Fresh whites: mineral Garganega (almond, flowers), aromatic Moscato Fior d'Arancio (orange, honey), local Pinella and Serprino.
