Description
A pure Cabernet Sauvignon to measure Castellare's production capacity against the rest of the world. This wine is the result of a long work in the vineyard and vinification to obtain more elegance than power. A result that, beyond the strong mark of the Cabernet, illustrates well the characteristics of the terroir.
