Iugero Cabernet Franc 2020
Iugero Cabernet Franc
Iugero Cabernet Franc
Floral blackberry with mineral paprika.
The wine is an intense ruby red with vivid violet reflections. The brilliant color indicates concentrated fruitiness and freshness, while the dense structure in the glass suggests a powerful, well-ripened Cabernet Franc.
The nose reveals aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and cassis, paired with floral notes of violets. A hint of paprika and mineral graphite gives the bouquet an unmistakable complexity and elegance.
On the palate, the wine shows a perfect balance of lively acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins. Blackcurrants and sour cherries dominate the taste, complemented by herbal nuances and a long, smoky finish with mineral accents.
This wine is produced from hand-picked Cabernet Franc grapes grown in Cortona under optimal conditions. The ageing in small oak barrels gives it depth and structure, while the limited production underlines its exclusivity.
A family winery between love, passion and pain.
Finding an excellent Tuscan wine that stands out from the crowd is not easy. We were therefore very curious when we met Luca Viti and he told us that he only makes one wine: Cabernet Sauvignon (which also contains some Cabernet Franc). And that in the Sangiovese stronghold of Tuscany! After the tasting, we were absolutely convinced that we had discovered a real insider tip. The cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which is reminiscent of a Supertuscan, has a soft elegance paired with full-bodied fruit, which, when so finely balanced, offers a wonderful taste experience. That was exactly what we were looking for. In the 1950s, the Viti family bought the farm where the winery now stands. More and more grapes were grown until further large plots of vineyard were added in 2013. A three-story winery was built, which focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. All of this in a region where more Sangiovese is grown than anywhere else in the world. The winery's logo was designed by an Egyptian artist and represents the tight embrace of the family's two twin sisters, Laura and Lucia. At the same time, this embrace also shows the fusion of the long and hard physical work that four generations have put into this land.
