Red Wine Constantini Cabernet Franc Eminent – Goriška Brda, Slovenia

Fermentation is completed in stainless steel tanks. Maturation: Natural maturing in 225 – litre oak barrels (barrique) for 3 years. Wine is not filtered.

Characteristics: Intense ruby red colour. An elegant, medium- to full-bodied wine with complex aromas of black cherries, red fruit, paprika, pepper, oak notes. Smooth tannins. Harmonious and persistent taste with a pleasant freshness, mineral notes in finish, and long aftertaste. We recommend opening the bottle about one hour prior to tasting the wine. The aroma is fully developed through the process of decanting.
