Cabernet Franc
It is undoubtedly the best wine produced in Friuli for long ageing. It is made with a long maceration. Of an intense ruby red, it is rich, strong, tannic, and wild with a characteristic, intense, winy and pleasant perfume; the taste is dry, full-bodied, soft, and herbaceous. After aging the herbaceous taste disappears and leaves place to the wide range of shadings of the greatest red wines.

Accostamenti gastronomici
When it is young it goes with cold meats of the great cuisine. When aged it is one of the best wines with roasts, especially with game, with plates of meat, and with hard and aged cheeses. It should be served at 18-20°C.
