Product information on "Orfeo Cabernet Barrique IGT from the F.lli Vincenzi winery on Lake Garda"
The Orfeo Cabernet Barrique IGT from F.lli Vincenzi is a powerful yet elegant red wine that combines the expressiveness of Cabernet with the finesse of barrique aging. A wine with a clear structure, ripe fruit, and a self-assured personality – modernly interpreted, yet deeply rooted in tradition.
In the glass, the Orfeo shows a bright ruby red. The bouquet is intense and clearly defined: dark berries, blackcurrants, and ripe cherries combine with fine vanilla, toast, and spice notes that come from the barrique aging. With a little air, additional nuances of cocoa and subtle wood develop.
The vinification is single-varietal from Cabernet grapes. After classic mash fermentation, the wine matures for at least 12 months in barrique barrels, which gives it its smooth tannins, depth, and harmonious structure. The wood supports the fruit without overpowering it, lending the wine additional elegance.
On the palate, the Orfeo is full-bodied, harmonious, and persistent. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, the body is powerful, yet balanced. The fruit remains present, accompanied by fine woody notes and a pleasant spiciness. The finish is long, round, and elegant – a wine with clear character and expression.
An ideal accompaniment to hearty dishes or as a characterful solo wine for special occasions.
