Description

From the limestone-rich soils of Gualtallary, this Cabernet Franc is shaped by cool nights, intense mountain light, and a geology that favors tension over excess. It is a wine defined by precision, where freshness, structure, and aromatic lift come together seamlessly.

This wine captures Cabernet Franc at its most expressive: red fruit and subtle florals layered with a gentle herbal edge, framed by fine, polished tannins. The limestone imprint is unmistakable, giving the wine a sense of energy that carries through the palate and lingers long after the finish.

From Wine Advocate (93pts): The Loire Valley-inspired 2022 Aluvia Cabernet Franc is a lovely expression of the variety's suitability in Uco Valley's sandy limestone soils. It opens with a refined, alluring, floral bouquet supplemented with black fruits and dried-herb aromas with a dusty undertone. The palate is seamless and svelte, concluding with a stony, buoyant finish framed by fine-grained tannins.

Don't miss this Cabernet Franc lovers!
