Dry, full-bodied wine, with a rich and complex taste. Caruso & Minini’s Cabignon represents the entire amount of nuances of an authentic and constantly evolving land. After a hand harvesting taking place in the last part of September, grapes are delicately destemmed and left to macerate in stainless steel tanks at 25°C, to confere the typical ruby red color to the wine. We continue with the malolactic fermentation and, finally, with the maturation process: 50% in 225 liter French oak barriques for 8 months, the remaining 50% in American oak barriques for 8 months. The result is a wide-ranging wine, with spicy and elegant flavours.
