THE WINE

This Cabernet from the Rodaro winery is part of the “In Volo Sul” line or the wines of the plain. Climate change has made the family consider the excellent qualitative potential of the flat land, with its long sunny summer days and the cool, moderate winds that blow from the Adriatic. The soil here is characterized by gravel and a sizeable stony surface which enhances the temperature range between day and night, thus favouring grapes with a marked endowment of aromas and aromatic and elegant wines.

Respect for the environment and the work done in the vineyard with a view to sustainability, together with the low production per hectare, enhance the quality and refinement of the production of plain wines, giving a unique character to this line of wines.

THE WINEMAKING

Once in the cellar after harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and softly pressed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages on the lees in French oak barrels for a period ranging between 7 and 12 months. After blending and bottling, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Red with violet reflections. The aroma is pleasantly intense, with herbaceous notes that intertwine with hints of wild berries. Vinous on the palate, this Cabernet is soft and light with a pleasant herbaceous undertone. Persistence is also good.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with white and red meat, cold cuts and medium hard cheeses.
