👃 Tasting Notes & Experience

This page is intentionally conservative because an approved same-vintage winery technical sheet was not available in the sources reviewed. The wine is presented as a Cabernet Franc-led Uco Valley expression with emphasis on balance, freshness, aromatic lift, and fine structure rather than exaggerated extraction.

❤️ Why We Love It

• Cabernet Franc is one of the varieties Pelleriti Priore identifies as central to its Uco Valley portfolio
• The estate’s stated focus is on terroir expression, balance, finesse, and wines capable of evolving over time
• The 2023 vintage is difficult to find in the U.S. market, making this a strong value-driven allocation

🍽️ Food Pairing Ideas

• Grilled flank steak or skirt steak
• Herb-roasted lamb
• Mushroom risotto
• Semi-aged cheeses
