Vitis

2009 Friuli Cabernet Sauvignon

Castellargo Vitis is a captivating expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the picturesque Friuli region, showcasing the complexities and elegance that this grape has to offer. This wine boasts a deep red hue, drawing you in with its rich visual appeal. On the palate, expect a medium body that enhances the wine's versatility, ensuring it pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. The acidity is notably bright and lively, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the pronounced fruit intensity that features enticing notes of blackcurrant and dark cherry. Tannins are well-structured, contributing a firm backbone while remaining supple enough to invite further exploration. As a dry wine, it leaves a pleasant, lingering finish that encourages you to savor each sip. This 2009 vintage exemplifies the craftsmanship and rich terroir of Friuli, making it a delightful choice for any wine enthusiast.

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.
