The 2023 Zuccardi Poligonos Gualtallary Cabernet Franc reveals a refined bouquet of dark fruit, subtle lavender, and stony mineral nuances. Its pronounced floral character is harmoniously supported by well-integrated tannins and a distinctive saline, oyster-shell minerality. This wine is matured in used, untoasted 500-liter French oak barrels and 2,500-liter foudres, which help maintain its purity and vibrant freshness. From Gualtallary’s harsh cold and dry climate with significant temperature variation, it expresses the wild character of the region through aromatic hints of herbs and flowers. On the palate, it offers a powerful yet fresh profile with excellent structure. The tannins are polished and elegant, culminating in a smooth and persistent finish that beautifully reflects its terroir.
