Colli Orientali del Friuli – Cabernet Franc – Ronco delle Betulle – 2022

The Cabernet Franc of the Ronco delle Betulle winery

The Cabernet Franc of the Ronco delle Betulle winery is produced with 100% Cabernet Franc grapes, grown in the territory of Rosazzo in Friuli Venezia Giulia. We are talking about a very widespread grape variety in Friuli that manages to give its best even in rainy summers.

The Winemaking

The harvest is strictly manual. Once in the cellar, the grapes are de-stemmed, cooled and left to macerate at a controlled temperature for about 15 days. After a soft pressing, the wine ages for 12 to 18 months in large oak barrels. After being assembled and bottled without filtration, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

Tasting the wine of the winery

Compact ruby ​​red with violet reflections. The aroma is elegant with pleasant notes of red fruits that intertwine well with the characteristic herbaceous hints. It closes with light spicy ents which are more evident in important years. Intense on the palate, with a well-balanced tannin and a perfect correspondence between the taste and the aromas. Excellent persistence.

Food Pairings

Ideal with red meat, game and hard cheeses. Must try with grilled meat.
