Product Notes
Planeta Didacus Cabernet Franc wine is an exceptional Italian red with a heritage from Sicily. The first sip exposes an alluring mixture of red fruits, spices, and subtle oak. Its distinct Cabernet Franc character expresses hints of raspberry, laurel, and cocoa. Accompanied by an elegant tannic structure, this wine effortlessly balances freshness and vivacity. The ageing process in French oak barrels adds complexity, offering a lingering finish. Though excellent on its own, Planeta Didacus pairs beautifully with meat-based courses. It’s a prestigious wine, ideal for special occasions or for the discerning wine lover looking for an indulgent experience.
Tasting Notes
From a classic vintage and a long growing season, this Cabernet Franc is slow to open and reveals a long range of aromas to coincide with various intervals one hour after the bottle is open, six hours later and even two days later. Give it time. Didacus reveals textbook varietal purity with dark fruit, bramble, white pepper, crushed stone and rosemary essence. There is little sweetness to the fruit, and the wine's personality embraces a more tonic or focused style with inner tension and verve. It focuses on length, not textural width. Compared to the Chardonnay, which is full-on Mediterranean with a kaleidoscope of bold fruit intensity, this wine is more reserved and timid. It adopts the silent, noble and insular side of the Sicilian persona and is a wine that succinctly relays its intention and uses few words to do so
