Cabernet Franc DOC TUNELLA

This Friulian red wine from Cantina Tunella is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the hills of Eastern Friuli: the vineyards benefit in particular from soils rich in marl and sandstone. The grapes are harvested by hand at peak ripeness; they are then destemmed and crushed to produce a must that is left to macerate and ferment on the skins. During this particular phase, frequent pumping-over is carried out to encourage the transfer of colour and tannins from the skins to the must. Once alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are complete, the wine is racked as required, and the ageing phase begins.
