Cabernet Franc
Moletto · IGT Veneto Orientale · 2022
Old Carmenère vines at Belfiore di Pramaggiore (long known in the Veneto as Cabernet Franc) give small crops of very concentrated fruit. The result is a bold, elegant red with an unmistakable herbal, peppery character.
At its best with grilled meat and with both cured and cooked sausages.
