2022 Ampeleia 'Cabernet Franc' Costa Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy

Sale price$39.99

Ampeleia has become one of Tuscany’s benchmark producers for Cabernet Franc, farming biodynamically in the rugged hills of Alta Maremma under the guidance of Elisabetta Foradori. Sourced from a single high-elevation vineyard planted on clay and galestro soils, this Cabernet Franc captures the variety’s vibrant, mineral-driven character. Forest berries, sour cherry, wild herbs, mint, and white pepper unfold across a silky, energetic palate with bright acidity and a long, savory finish. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in concrete, it is a pure expression of Cabernet Franc shaped by Tuscany’s wild coastal landscape.
