Scarpetta's 2021 Cabernet Franc from the renowned Colli Orientali del Friuli showcases the region's historic relationship with this varietal, which has flourished here since the time of Napoleon. This red wine exhibits a ruby dark color with a vibrant, youthful hue. On the nose, it reveals herbaceous and raspberry notes, complemented by aromas of red pepper jelly and black pepper. The palate is rich with concentrated black fruit flavors, featuring savory blackberries, and is beautifully framed by delicate tannins. The wine undergoes fermentation and aging in neutral French oak barrels for two years, followed by an additional six months in bottle before release.
