Nexus

2004 Friuli Cabernet Sauvignon

The San Simone Nexus is a captivating Cabernet Sauvignon from the Friuli region, renowned for its harmonious balance and refined character. This red wine showcases a medium-bodied structure that allows for a rich mouthfeel without overwhelming the palate. With bright acidity, it offers a lively freshness that enhances its fruit-forward profile. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of blackcurrant and dark cherry, complemented by subtle hints of spice and cedar from aging. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's structure and aging potential. Dry in style, this vintage presents an elegant and sophisticated expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, making it a delightful choice for both current enjoyment and years of cellaring.

Italy

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.
