Profile & Story
Cugini is an importer private-label brand from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, imported by Serendipity Wines; limited producer/estate background is published beyond the importer's own portfolio page. The Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% varietal, aged in steel, 13.0% ABV. Grapes are fermented at an average temperature of 25°C with 18-20 days of skin maceration. Serendipity Wines notes that in Friuli, careful clonal selection and low yields with precise canopy management help the vines achieve optimal phenolic ripeness, reflecting the region's mineral-rich soils and favorable climate.
Tasting Notes
A vibrant ruby red color with a complex bouquet of pronounced black pepper, clove, violet, blackcurrant, and black cherry notes. Structured and full-bodied on the palate, with a smooth, velvety texture and firm yet refined tannins, delivering a bold and elegant drinking experience.
Pairing Recommendation
Grilled steak, roasted lamb, blackened tuna, grilled portobello mushrooms, and smoky lentil stew.
