Cabernet

2017 Friuli Colli Orientali Cabernet

Petrussa Cabernet from the esteemed Friuli Colli Orientali region is a remarkable expression of the Cabernet varietal, showcasing a deep red hue that invites exploration. This 2017 vintage exhibits a medium-bodied character, striking a balance between richness and approachability, while its acidity is notably bright and lively, enhancing the overall freshness of the wine. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious layers of dark fruits such as blackcurrant and plum that dance harmoniously with subtle hints of spice. Tannins are well-structured, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's complex flavor profile without overwhelming the palate. Additionally, this Cabernet leans towards a dry style, making it a versatile companion for a variety of dishes, from hearty stews to grilled red meats, offering a delightful experience with every sip.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
