Toscana IGT Cabernet Franc Filare 18 2017 Casadei
Description
Filare 18 di Casadei is a pure Cabernet Franc that comes from medium-textured soils, with a good presence of skeleton and mineral substances.
The harvest takes place manually in boxes with selection both in the vineyard and in the cellar on a sorting table. The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed with a slight break of the grape, before being placed in underground terracotta amphorae where spontaneous fermentation takes place with a 30-day maceration and natural temperature control. Aging takes place in new French oak barrels for at least 18 months, followed by a further 6 months in bottle.
Ruby red in color, the nose is an explosion of aromas, with perfectly mixed fruits and spices. In the mouth it is warm and enveloping, with a nice minerality and pleasant freshness that balances the velvety tannins.
Excellent with aged cheeses and grilled and roasted red meats.
