Details and technical informations about Winery Castelli Family Vineyards's Estate Cabernet Franc.
Discover the grape variety: Ribol
Light, simple, fruity reds with a pale ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy, moderately acidic palate, with undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. A discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, Ribol is an ancient variety whose commercial cultivation has almost vanished; it is studied for its genetic interest. A rare black grape, poorly documented, grown in negligible quantities.

AVA Heart of San Diego Wine Country (~89,000 acres, 168th American AVA 2005, 320 frost-free days): Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Tempranillo, Barbera and Zinfandel as red kings — concentrated and full-bodied with ripe fruits, sustained tannic structure, warm expression. Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat Canelli in whites. Warm dry climate influenced by Pacific Ocean (morning mists, breezes) and Colorado desert, intense terroir.

Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
