94/100 JS

Tasting Notes


The color is deep ruby with flashes of youthful violet hues.

On the nose it opens with floral aromas and continues with classic cabernet franc notes of berries, sweet licorice and red bell pepper.

On the palate gives a definite and precise hint of blackberry followed by a light, dry, tannic closure.

Serving: Best served at 60°F to 64°F (16°C to 18°C) as this is how you can grasp all its characteristics.

Food pairing: wine for cold meats, great cooking, roasted white and red meats, noble poultry, game and aged cheeses.

The 2022 Gradis'ciutta Cabernet Franc comes from the Collio DOC, one of Italy's best-known regions for expressive, mineral-driven wines. Robert Princic founded the estate in 1997 and named it after the hilltop hamlet where his family has tended vines for generations. The vineyards sit right on the border with Slovenia.

The estate's quality starts with its "Ponca" soil, a unique mix of Eocene marl and sandstone that gives the wines a distinct mineral backbone and elegance. In this 100% Cabernet Franc, that shows as floral aromas, blackberry fruit, notes of sweet licorice and red bell pepper, and a precise, dry finish.
