Angélica Zapata Cabernet Franc Alta: A Bold Expression of Elegance and Complexity

The Angélica Zapata Cabernet Franc Alta stands out with its captivating ruby red color, beautifully accented by delicate violet hues. Its intense and concentrated bouquet reveals notes of cassis, ripe blackcurrants, and subtle traces of vanilla, accompanied by a hint of black pepper and cloves, creating an invitingly complex aroma. On the palate, the wine offers a harmonious blend of sweet red fruits, enhanced by distinctive hints of eucalyptus and black pepper. Its balance, elegance, and exceptional structure culminate in a long and persistent finish, leaving a lasting impression.

This remarkable wine pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, especially those with bold flavors. The wine’s complexity is ideal for grilled meats, particularly smoky short ribs or a succulent ribeye steak, where the caramelized, savory flavors of the meat beautifully complement the wine's rich fruit and spice notes.

For a more refined pairing, enjoy it with grilled tuna, where the fish’s rich texture and deep flavor will harmonize perfectly with the wine's complexity.

For those who appreciate the extraordinary, wild boar or venison offer an exciting pairing. These exotic meats, with their bold, intense flavors, are exquisitely balanced by the wine's herbal and spicy nuances, elevating the culinary experience to new heights.

The Angélica Zapata Cabernet Franc Alta is a wine that will elevate any occasion, transforming it into a celebration of fine flavors and exceptional craftsmanship
