Cabernet Sauvignon has found a home around the world and its expression from one geographic region to another is an interesting way to explore the world’s great terroirs. Here in the Veneto, the wine also takes on its own unique character. Stainless steel fermentation preserves the grape’s fresh fruit character and truly allows the vineyard to speak in every bottle.
