Intensely coloured and structured reds with an inky, near-black robe, firm tannins and a dense mouthfeel, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, plum, spices, black pepper and balsamic notes reminiscent of Cabernet Sauvignon. Grown mainly in Germany (Württemberg, Palatinate) for modern dry reds and tannic blends. A German hybrid created in 1970 at Weinsberg (Blaufränkisch × Cabernet Sauvignon), valued for its resistance and structure.

The word of the wine: Deposit

Solid particles that can naturally coat the bottom of a bottle of wine. It is rather a guarantee that the wine has not been mistreated: in fact, to avoid the natural deposit, rather violent processes of filtration or cold passage (- 7 or - 8 °C) are used in order to precipitate the tartar (the small white crystals that some people confuse with crystallized sugar: just taste to dissuade you from it)
