Tenute Lunelli Auritea Di Podernovo Costa Toscana Cabernet Franc 2017
Auritea, made from 100% Cabernet Franc, represents the summit of Tenute Lunelli’s production in Tuscany. Crafted with grapes from the “Olmo” Vineyard of the Podernovo estate, the wine matures for 18 months in French oak barriques and then for a further 12 months in bottle. Like all the wines from Podernovo, Auritea is made from organic grapes.

Colour

A deep and concentrated bright ruby red.

Bouquet

On the nose it amazes you with its depth and concentration, displaying aromas of cocoa powder, blackcurrant jam and rosemary that give way to spicier and more balsamic hints.

Flavour

On the palate, its solid yet elegant structure emphasises the softness of the tannins and - on the finish - offers a certain tanginess, conferred by the fossil content in the soil.

Pairing

Ideal with red meat main courses, braised meats, cheeses.
