MICROCOSMO Cabernet Franc Veneto IGT

The Microcosmo Cabernet Franc Veneto IGT from Agricola da Schio is born on the Berici Hills, in the Arcugnano (VI) area, from a careful selection of the company's best Cabernet Franc grapes. It is a wine that represents the deepest and most intense vision of Francesco and Berardo da Schio's agricultural production, where agronomic research, respect for the territory, and varietal interpretation meet in an authentic balance. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc from a second harvest, this wine stems from a particular production choice: the best bunches are left to ripen on the vine for an additional 15-20 days compared to traditional harvesting and are hand-picked in mid-October. This technique allows for greater aromatic concentration, complexity, and expressive depth. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, enhancing the natural character of the grape and the territory. Aging continues in wooden barrels for approximately 6-9 months and then in the bottle for a year, allowing the wine to develop structure, harmony, and elegance. In the glass, it presents an intense and deep color. The aromatic profile is complex and explosive, with a rich and enveloping olfactory texture that accompanies a structured, persistent, and highly distinctive taste. Microcosmo is a Cabernet Franc designed to accompany rich and flavorful dishes, ideal with game, roasts, and spicy preparations. Product Sheet: Denomination: Cabernet Franc Veneto IGT.
