Lo-Fi Cabernet Franc Santa Barbara Cabernet Franc

A signature blend of Merlot

From the Carthusian monks of Scala Dei in 1163

These three parcels of grapes are all fermented in French oak barriques

as it winds its way from its source in the Sierra de Cantabria range

Usual pink dress for the grape that reveals a nose of small red type fruit strawberries of the Woods and spices

and mastery of Italian varietals

Harvested from a steep hillside block full of rocky shale in the biodynamic Demetria vineyard

Ferdinando Zanusso founded I Clivi when he returned to Italy after thirty years and three different careers in Africa

grenache and carignane

berry desserts and savory dishes that have a lot of spice

but don't let the name fool you

spices and some toasted signs
