The Red 'Cabernet Merlot - San Leopoldo' from La Casaccia di Franceschi is an elegant blend, an expression of the Maremma estates of this egregious Ilcinese company. The international vines are treated with small wood and submerged cap to concentrate the fruity and spicy elements of the grapes. The nose reveals intense aromas of blackcurrant and ripe cherry, with hints of black pepper and delicate nuances of vanilla; on the sip a velvety texture reveals the presence of Merlot. Try it with a mushroom menu
Intense ruby red
Cherry and blackcurrant, then green hints reminiscent of pepper, hints of vanilla and black pepper on the finish
Very fresh, velvety on the palate but with good structure and great aromatic persistence
