CABERNET SAUVIGNON DOC FRIULI

Cabernet Sauvignon from Cormons: An In-Depth Profile

Cabernet Sauvignon di Cormons is a red wine that unmistakably expresses the characteristics of the Friulian terroir. Its production, concentrated in the Cormons area, benefits from a particularly favorable microclimate and soils rich in skeleton and clay.

Distinctive features

• Grapes: Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, sometimes enriched with small percentages of Merlot or Cabernet Franc to give greater complexity.
• Terroir: The soils of Cormons, rich in skeleton and clay, give the wines structure and minerality.
• Climate: The Mediterranean climate, tempered by Alpine breezes, ensures a slow and gradual ripening of the grapes, favoring the development of intense and complex aromas.
• Vinification: The vinification involves a prolonged maceration on the skins to extract color, tannins and aromas. The refinement takes place partly in wood (barrique or tonneaux) and partly in steel, depending on the producer's choices.
