Batzella 2016 Cabernet Franc Vox Loci
Castagneto Carducci, Maremma, Tuscany
Red wine from Italy
Drinking window: 2021 - 2034

The 2016 Cabernet Franc Vox Loci dazzles from start to finish. More than anything else, the 2016 conveys a tremendous amount of detail for such a rich wine. Raspberry jam, wild flowers, menthol and mocha build in the glass. This is a fabulous expression of Cabernet Franc from the Tuscan coast. Aging in 500-liter barrels seems to work especially well here.
