Aged in barrique for one year, the 2011 Trentino Cabernet Sauvignon Ritratti has not lost its cool climate crispness and definition. The wine shows a darkly saturated garnet color that is followed by bright and enduing aromas of red rose, wild berry and bitter cherry. There is sharpness and lots of focus here. In the mouth, the wine is tangy and tight with lots of crisp freshness. There is some bitterness as well that leaves some astringency on the close.
