The wine Cabernet Sauvignon Collio DOC from the Simon Komjanc winery
The Cabernet Sauvignon Collio DOC from the Simon Komjanc winery is a fine red wine from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia wine region. This Cabernet Sauvignon stands out for its intense ruby color with violet reflections, extraordinary clarity, and a complex aromatic bouquet that immediately captures attention.
The Winemaking
The winemaking of this Cabernet Sauvignon is a careful and meticulous process. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, grown in clay and sandstone soils, are hand-picked and brought immediately to the winery. Here, the grapes are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by several months of aging on the fine lees, still in steel. This process gives the wine a robust and complex structure, which is reflected in its final expression.
Tasting the wine
On the nose, the Cabernet Sauvignon presents itself as intense, with notes of ripe fruits such as black currant, blueberry, and dark cherry, accompanied by spicy hints of green pepper and delicate balsamic and herbal notes. On the palate, the wine is dry, with a clear alcoholic component supported by freshness, sapidity, and well-balanced tannins. The sip reveals the typicality of the region of origin and the grape variety, with a beautiful lingering finish that leaves hints of violet and mineral notes.
Food Pairings
This wine pairs wonderfully with dishes of red meats, game, and wild fowl. It is ideal with well-structured cheeses that have aged moderately. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 15-16°C to enhance its organoleptic characteristics. Dishes such as stuffed peppers, roasted veal liver with apples, and lamb stew with chickpeas and dried figs pair perfectly with this wine, creating an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
