Cabernet Franc
With a concentration level that borders on the brazen, this red wine from the thirty-year-old vines of Carmenère is sparing in its productivity, but generous in sharing its elegant personality and recognizably-unique character.
Best enjoyed with grilled meat and both cured and cooked sausages.
