Livon VILLACHIOPRIS Cabernet Sauvignon Friuli Grave DOC
Description: In 1964 Dorino Livon purchased the first piece of property in the hills of Collio and step by step added new parcels to his portfolio. In this way, the Azienda Agricola Livon slowly but steadily continues to grow and continuing this trend VillaChiopris was purchased in 1992. This seventy-hectare property lies between the towns of Chiopris and Viscone in a large plain, rich in iron and alluvial soils, that extends from the edge of the Veneto region in the west and the Colli Orientali del Friuli region in the east with the Moreniche hills to the North. The grapes are hand harvested from vineyards located in Chiopris followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures and an 8-month period in stainless steel tanks. This has produced a brilliant ruby red coloured wine. Intense, clean and pleasing aromas with hints of black cherry, strawberry and vanilla give way to a balanced, well-weighted and intense palate. The good tannin structure of this enjoyable wine gives way to a plum, raspberry and black cherry finish. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £55.70
