Hailing from the cool-climate hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy, Zonin's Cabernet showcases the region's unique ability to produce elegant, aromatic red wines. The Zonin family, with winemaking roots dating back to 1821, selected this terroir where the protective Julian Alps meet the moderating breezes of the Adriatic Sea. This bottle is typically crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, sometimes blended with Cabernet Franc, grown in gravelly, mineral-rich soils. Vinified in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant red fruit profile, herbaceous undertones, and bright acidity, it represents a fresh, food-friendly expression of Italian Cabernet that honors the historical viticultural heritage of the Friuli region.
