Description
It is commonly thought that clay soil produces more structured wines, but this is not the case at Roccatederighi. It is here that the “dell’Asina” vineyard (the “Donkey vineyard”), that produces our Cabernet Franc, is located, in soil rich in clay and marked by typical schist and palombino limestone rocks. This unique land creates a Cabernet Franc that is the expression of pure fruit, with a sincere and vibrant identity.
