Ultima Pietra Sestante III Cabernet Franc 2022
This single barrique, treasured and aged an extra year for those who love Cabernet Franc in purezza, “in purity” as the Italians say.
Sestante III betrays its richness at first sight.
The nose is colorful and ever-shifting, revealing something new with every breath. Sumptuous aromas invite you to drink: blood orange and pomegranate, then cypress embers, dried herbs and black tea.
The acidity is electric, amplifying every sensation without losing definition.
A sip brings calm, warmth and fullness: lush blackberry and plum, forest, sweet pipe tobacco and Mediterranean herbs. No hard edges.
An elegant wine that speaks of autumn. Warm, welcoming and lavish.
