The Cabernet Franc from Venica & Venica Winery
The Cabernet Franc from Venica & Venica winery is a wine that reflects the tradition and enological innovation of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This grape variety, the progenitor of the more famous Cabernet Sauvignon, originates from Bordeaux and is usually used in Bordeaux-style blends to impart character to the wines. However, when vinified in purity, as in the case of Venica & Venica, it reveals a fascinating and unique herbal complexity, with a fruity bouquet enriched by distinctive spicy and herbal notes.
It is recommended to serve this wine at a temperature of 18/20°C. The Cabernet Franc has an aging potential of over 10 years, during which the wine will continue to evolve, offering new aromatic and flavor nuances. In the hands of the expert winemakers at Venica & Venica, this grape variety best expresses its distinctive charm, resulting in a wine of great personality and uniqueness.
The Winemaking
The Cabernet Franc grapes were harvested and destemmed in the first decade of October. In the winery, the grapes were macerated for about 10 days at a controlled temperature not exceeding 24°C. This process allows optimal extraction of aromas and tannins while maintaining a vibrant freshness. The wine is then aged in steel until bottling, which occurs in February following the harvest, to preserve the purity of its aromas and flavors
Tasting the wine of the winery
The Cabernet Franc presents itself with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, the bouquet is predominantly fruity, with notes of small red fruits such as blueberries, currants, and raspberries. These are accompanied by spicy nuances of black pepper and licorice, along with herbal notes of arugula, bell pepper, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with an enveloping tannic structure and a lively freshness imparted by the herbal component. With aging, it evolves into balsamic notes and spicy hints, maintaining a persistence consistent with the bouquet perceived.
Food Pairings
Thanks to its robust body and medium tannins, the Cabernet Franc pairs perfectly with roasts, game, wild game, and hearty meat dishes. It is also ideal with hard and aged cheeses, enhancing the flavors of the dishes with which it is served.
