Cabernet Riserva South tyrol Alto Adige

A.A. Cabernet Riserva DOC "Graf" 2022

For many years, this highly coloured, tannin-rich and powerful red wine variety from Bordeaux in France has been feeling increasingly at home in the warmest vineyards in South Tyrol. However, only consistent yield reduction enables it to develop into a profound, substantial red wine with the zesty aromas typical of its variety. A wine that, as a “Riserva”, is developing into a genuine charmer.
