Capaia ONE 2014

Deep garnet in colour, this Cabernet-dominated blend shows intense aromas of ripe dark berries with nuances of oak. The palate follows through with a powerful mix of deep, dark berry flavours. Smoke tobacco supports the rich texture. Although the tannins are firm they are soft so the fruits give lots of flesh on the mid-palate. Carpaccio meatiness are enhanced by a touch of spiciness with a lingering finish which invites you to the next glass.

This elegant wine complements most meat dishes like steak, game and veal.
