Vigna Del Lauro Cabernet Franc Isonzo DOC 2021

Italian Wine Report (90)- "Bright, medium-deep ruby red; aromas of bing cherry, black cherry and a hint of nutmeg. Medium-bodied, this has ideal ripeness, medium-weight tannins, good acidity and very good varietal purity. Very appealing, with excellent harmony. Very nice value. Enjoy over the next 2-3 years."
