Austere, noble reds, pale in colour and quick to turn garnet, with powerful tannins and high acidity, showing aromas of sour cherry, faded rose, tar, white truffle, leather and balsamic notes with age. Outstanding ageing potential. Absolute star of Piedmont with Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG, also in Roero, Gattinara, Ghemme and Valtellina (Chiavennasca). A late-ripening Italian variety among the world's greatest.
Municipality of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) in the heart of the Serra do Sudeste, the state's main emerging zone, granite and schist soils, temperate Atlantic climate. Cabernet Sauvignon is the signature red: structured and fresh with blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, pepper and an herbal touch, firm tannins and acidity preserved by altitude. Supple Merlot and dense Tannat complement. Taut Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon Blanc in whites, base for sparkling wines.
