Sipping Fine Wine

Paleo Rosso is one of the symbols of Bolgheri , and “Paleo” is the common name of a species of grass, which grows wild along the Tuscan Coast; best-known Cab Francs. Deep Ruby with aromas fruit, dried herbs and spice for this 100% Cab Franc. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with leather, cacao and herbs. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy character. Nice, tasting sample.

If you’re a Cab Franc lover like me, this is as good as it’s gets IMHO. The nose is olive and tobacco. The mouthfeel is ridiculous with deep black fruit, and cigar tabacco. White pepper and spices are the bonus that keeps on giving. 30+ second finish just to round out the experience. Find it , drink it, Love it.

This is special. Paleo Cab Franc is luscious and rich full bodied wine. Blackberries and currants dominate the palate. The rich full flavor lends itself well to all types of red meat. Always leaves me wanting more
