de Tarczal, Trentino Cabernet Franc D.O.C.
(tren-TEE-noh KAH-bayr-nay frahnk)

 

Tasting Notes: The de Tarczal estate has been making wine since the 1600’s, specializing in classic, local varietals, some of which are virtually extinct. Unlike many of their neighbors, they do not sell to co-ops, even though they are quite small. Old-vine winemaking, naturally low-yields, high-altitude, and valley ventilation make this Cabernet Franc a celebration of the varietal; as clean as stained glass, and equally artistic and expressive.
