Red Wine

2018 Friuli Colli Orientali Cabernet Franc

Zorzettig Red Wine is a captivating expression of Cabernet Franc from the renowned Friuli Colli Orientali region. This vibrant red wine showcases a medium body that is both approachable and engaging, making it a delightful choice for a variety of occasions. The acidity is beautifully balanced, contributing to a lively mouthfeel that enhances the overall drinking experience. The fruit intensity is striking, with lush notes of dark cherry and raspberry that dance on the palate, complemented by subtle herbal undertones. Firm yet well-integrated tannins lend structure to the wine, ensuring a smooth finish that invites another sip. A slightly dry profile makes this wine food-friendly, pairing wonderfully with roasted meats or hearty vegetarian dishes, allowing the complex flavors to shine. The 2018 vintage captures the essence of its terroir, promising both pleasure and longevity for those fortunate enough to enjoy it.

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.
