Euganean Hills | Controlled Designation of Origin - Cabernet Riserva

It is a blend of Cabernet Savignon with the addition of Franc and Carmenere grapes. Fermentation, matugin and regining take place in oak barrels for 18 – 24 months, without filtration during the bottling. Endowed with silky tannins, it is a very harmonious wine, rich in polyphenols. It has a deep ruby colour with purplish highlights and hints of black fruits and spices.
