Damiani Cabernet Franc NV 750ml

Beautiful rustic aromatics of stewed berries and wood spice combine with concentrated notes of cocoa and cigar box on the nose of our Cabernet Franc. The dark fruit on the palate is savory and meaty with layers of bramble, sweet spice, and clove. This medium bodied Cabernet has bright acidity and soft yet generous tannins and finishes long and lingering with layers of black cherry, early summer plums, and an undercurrent of anise.

Varietal

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is not simply an important grape varietal for the fact that it is one of the most widely grown strains of vine in the world, but also because it is a vital grape in the production of many of the finest wines the world has ever seen. For centuries in its native France, it has been a varietal synonymous with elegance and high quality, and has become a key fruit in the production of the Bordeaux and Bordeaux-style blended wines which have gone down in history thanks to their magnificent flavors, aromas and levels of aged complexity. However, Cabernet Franc is also a wine grape varietal for use in single variety, unblended wines, and has plenty to offer on its own. Most commonly, it is renowned for its wide bouquet, which often includes fascinating notes of tobacco, violets or bell pepper over a beautifully pale and decadent liquid.
