This wine originates from stony soil along Piave river, in particular the area between Conegliano and Treviso in the Veneto region of Italy. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon 50% Pinot Nero or Pinot Noir. The low yield per hectare (80-90 quintals grape, 60-65% wine) improves the quality of the wine.Pinot Nero and Cabernet Sauvignon mature separately in Slavonian oak barrels for about 15 months. They are finally bottled together and the wine refines for 12 months in the bottle.
I decanted the wine for 2 hours prior to drinking it. For the price, its definitely hard to beat. Not too sweet and well balanced. Alcohol is at 13.5% and definitely has that full bodied feel and smooth when swallowed. Nice hints of cheery but not overpowering in any way. Best of all, it Can be easily had for under $20
