Selvagrossa Poveriano 2012

Just 200 cases of this beauty were made. 100% Cabernet Franc. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged 14 months in new French barriques with an additional 6 months in the bottle. Poveriano is complex and fruit-driven on the nose with hints of cassis, spices, and white pepper. The wine is very balanced with soft tannins and seductive herbal notes typical of Cabernet Franc. 'Poveriano' gets its name from a vineyard on the Selvagrossa estate which historically was an old road named Poveriano.
