Cabernet

This wine is generally medium- to full-bodied with noticeable tannins and balanced acidity, offering a structured yet refined character. Friulian Cabernet styles emphasize dryness, harmony, and subtle spice rather than heavy sweetness, resulting in a polished and food-friendly wine with aging potential.

Winemaking process

The wine is produced from Cabernet grapes grown in Friuli’s hillside vineyards within the Colli Orientali del Friuli appellation, where controlled fermentation and maturation help develop structure, color, and complexity while preserving balance and regional character.

Tasting notes

On the nose, it typically shows aromas of black cherry, dark berries, and spice with subtle herbal or earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is dry and structured, with firm tannins, dark fruit flavors, and a slightly spicy finish that becomes smoother with age.

Food pairings

Giorgio Colutta Cabernet pairs well with grilled red meats, roasted dishes, game, and hearty savory foods. Its tannins and structure help balance rich proteins and robust flavors.
