The Ampeleia 2021 Cabernet Franc shows those special winemaking aromas that come from fermentation and skin contact. They give this wine a truthful and variety-driven personality. The fruit is front and center and there are no extra bells and whistles. Dark cherry is followed by potting soils and tobacco leaf.

Compared to the 2021 vintage, this expression is a little softer around the edges and doesn't have the same level of exacting focus or linearity. The organic and biodynamic Ampeleia 2020 Cabernet Franc offers blackberry, ripe plum, earth, grilled herb and savory spice. It ends with medium-rich fruit weight and soft tannins.

The Ampeleia 2018 Cabernet Franc is an organic wine that opens to a luminous dark-ruby appearance. The wine is made with 20% whole cluster, and the fruit is sourced from the high-elevation Vigna dell'Asina, which is characterized by local soils known as galestro and palombino with elements of schist and limestone. This wine is very true to the variety with dark fruit and blackberry, spice and a green note of grilled rosemary or wild sage. This is a 6,000-bottle production.
