Description
Sugano Cabernet Franc from Friuli exhibits a deep ruby red colour. The nose is highly characteristic, featuring distinct herbaceous and mineral notes intertwined with fruity nuances and spicy undertones. Aromas range from red berries like currant, blackberry, and marasca cherry to hints of bell pepper, cinnamon, and cloves. It is full-bodied and intense on the palate, with well-rounded and harmonious tannins that integrate seamlessly with its refreshing acidity. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the aromatic complexity.
Ideal pairings include cold meats, roasted red meats, and game dishes. Its robust flavour profile also complements mature cheeses such as Montasio, and it shines alongside regional specialties like Pitina Della Val Tramontina, polenta concia, and lamb with kren.
