From the sun-drenched slopes of Friuli Grave, Tomasella’s Cabernet Franc is a sophisticated red that showcases the elegance and finesse of northeastern Italy. Sustainably farmed and carefully vinified, this single-varietal Cabernet Franc expresses both the terroir and the estate’s commitment to thoughtful winemaking.
In the glass, it presents a deep ruby hue with violet reflections, releasing aromas of ripe red and black berries, hints of bell pepper, subtle spices, and a touch of earthy minerality. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied yet structured, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a lingering, savory finish. This Cabernet Franc balances power with elegance, making it a wine of both character and finesse.
For Irish wine lovers, it pairs beautifully with roast meats, grilled vegetables, or aged cheeses, bringing the refined qualities of Friuli’s terroir directly to your table. A versatile red that is equally enjoyable on its own or with food, it’s a testament to Tomasella’s dedication to sustainable, high-quality winemaking.
We love this Cabernet Franc for its balance and sophistication. It’s a wine that is expressive yet polished, offering fragrant fruit, gentle spice, and a refined structure — a taste of Friuli elegance for Ireland’s tables.
