TASTING NOTE: The 1350 in the name refers to the altitude at which these grapes are grown. This Cab Franc/Malbec blend includes a dash of Casavecchia. Virtually unheard of outside its native Campania (where it's still extremely rare), Casavecchia is an aromatic variety that introduces notes of dried herbs, black fruit, leather, earth and tannin to wines. This red blend has a great floral component, superb depth and complexity and suggestions of cherry, mulberry, plum, smoke and vanilla. It's easy-drinking, with just the right tautness to the tannins. Try it with grilled lamb or pepper steak. (Vintages panel, Oct. 2017) |
