{"product_id":"cabernet-sauvignon-castelvecchio-2020","title":"Cabernet Sauvignon Castelvecchio 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cabernet Sauvignon of the Castelvecchio winery is a proud interpretation of an international grape variety that has been able to set very high standards of quality throughout the world and that here, in the Karst region, succeeds in expressing all the power and fullness of its fruit. The \u003cstrong\u003epredominantly calcareous soil\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in minerals, aided by a climate mitigated by the Bora, a typical wind of the area, allows these grapes to develop such strength and fullness as to produce a wine with splendid ageing capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Castelvecchio 's Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are the last to be processed compared to all the other vines on the estate. Harvesting in fact begins in mid-October, so that the full ripeness of the fruit of this extraordinary vine can be exploited. Once in the cellar and fermentation has begun, the wine is placed in steel vats for approximately 4 months to complete malolactic fermentation. The Cabernet Sauvignon then spends a year in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench and Californian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and a further 12 months in Slavonian oak tonneaux. The process is completed by an ageing period of 4 to 6 months in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cabernet Sauvignon Castelvecchio  presents itself to the glass with rubicund vigour and brown hues, as if anticipating its great aromatic depth. The first breath is pampered by spicy notes of cinnamon and vanilla followed by the sweetness and elegance of cherries in spirit and raspberry. Closing the aromatic mosaic is the \u003cstrong\u003emineral note\u003c\/strong\u003e, a true signature of the Karst. When brought to the mouth, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens sincerely, expressing all its warmth and softness. The pleasantly thick structure almost invites chewing that betrays the great persistence of this wine. Full and karstic in its vigour, this interpretation of Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent companion when enjoyed during a barbecue with friends or savoured on its own while awaiting the first winds of autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castelvecchio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41415687143471,"sku":"20V94439","price":23.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/7497\/2719\/products\/44452.jpg?v=1667478146","url":"https:\/\/checkout-stage.callmewine.sg\/products\/cabernet-sauvignon-castelvecchio-2020","provider":"Callmewine Stage World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
