Cabernet Franc
Franko 2023
Faedesfa

Grape Variety: Cabernet Franc

Producer: Faedesfa (Alberto Buratti)

Region:  Rovolon, Colli Euganei, Veneto, Italy

Wild Scale: 4/5

Winemaking: Organic Cabernet Franc grapes from 2 different  plots were harvested by hand. Whole bunch carbonic maceration for 10 days. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged for 3 months in steel tanks before bottling with no fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural red wine that is light in body but with a beautiful depth of vibrant fruit and a peppery finish. It's delicate but has a nice complexity with a herbal note running throughout. Very fresh with a hint of spritz.

Notes on the Winemaker: Alberto Buratti farms just over 3 hectares of vines in the Colli Euganei region of Veneto. He grew up around these vineyards when his Grandfather worked them but it wasn't until 2019 that he took the plunge to take over full time. Now he works with local and international grape varieties that he grows organically and doesn't add anything in the winemaking process.
