Russiz Superiore may be more famous for its white wines, but this Cabernet Franc is magnificent. The Collio hills supply the conditions to elevate the 'frank' Cabernet into nobility. Deep ruby in colour, it has a complex nose which encompasses both juicy fruitiness and savoury, herbal complexity. The texture is rich and succulent, cut across by freshness and notes of plump black cherries, ripe blackberries and zingy blackcurrants abound. The variety's emblematic green pepper and tobacco leaf edge are present but understated, like the signature in the corner of a painting.

Winemaking
2023 Collio Cabernet Franc from Russiz Superiore is grown on hillside vineyards (80–200 m a.s.l.) in the Collio DOC. Vines are rooted in well-drained ponca soils of marl and sandstone, benefiting from strong diurnal temperature variation that promotes aromatic complexity, freshness, and balanced phenolic ripeness.
