Region: Tuscany, Italy
Varietal: Blend of 45% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot and 10% Colorino
Tasting Notes: A deep, rich red plum with hints of violet. Intense aromas of ripe red fruits with complex secondary aromatics of balsamic and vanilla. An elegant, full-bodied wine, Alauda is a harmonious sum of its parts. Ripe berry flavors from the Cabernet Franc, rich varietal flavors of plum and cherry from the Merlot, and layers of unique balsamic and dark chocolate notes from the Colorino. The extended oak aging process integrates the blend while providing tertiary flavors of sweet spice and soft, elegant tannins for a lingering finish.Â
