Description:
Balan Grion’s Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a single-varietal red wine produced in the Veneto IGT region of northeastern Italy. The grapes are sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards with low yields to ensure concentration and quality. After harvest, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation in cement tanks, preserving the varietal’s integrity and enhancing purity of flavor.
The wine is then aged for at least six months in French oak barriques, with approximately one-third being new, allowing for gentle oak integration without overwhelming the fruit. This aging process contributes structure, complexity, and subtle notes of vanilla and spice.
This wine opens with deep aromas of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and hints of leather, complemented by subtle notes of coffee, vanilla, and dried herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, showcasing smooth, ripe tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors of black fruit persist alongside earthy undertones and a touch of spice, leading to a long, elegant finish.
