"Ampeleia's 2023 Cabernet Franc is bold and racy right from the start: a burst of dark-toned fruit, leather, espresso, dried herbs and spice races out of the glass. Deep and resonant, the 2023 is quite primary today. Aeration releases attractive Franc aromatics and underlying saline notes that wrap it all together. This is so distinctive. Loire meets Maremma."
