Photo taken from Moodle
Name: Vigna Lenuzza
Variety: Cabernet Franc
Region: Friuli
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95, Frontline $15 Sale

Winery Review: With a ruby red color and with intense purplish reflections it has a nose of red fruits like cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, to spices like marjoram, rhubarb and white pepper. On the palate it is pleasantly fresh, not too heavy, with sweet tannins and with soft herbaceous notes, which are the traditional characteristics of the Cabernet-Franc.

My Review: Strong notes of blackcurrant, raspberries, and cherries with spices. Earthy, fuller bodied and with a great amount of tannins with a dry, puckery and long finish. Not my favorite, but definitely an interesting wine.

With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
