Cabernet Franc "Apistós" Podere Conca

Podere Conca's Apistós red wine is made exclusively from grapes of the internationally renowned Cabernet Franc variety, a grape variety that makes its mark in the glass, adding complexity and finesse to the taste. This is the winery's flagship label, which is also reflected in its name, which means 'incredible' in ancient Greek, symbolising the fascination of what is beyond the real, an imaginary flower that challenges nature itself with its uniqueness.  The grapes are grown on the land adjacent to the Podere, less than 1 hectare, characterised by red sands rich in iron and skeleton, with a clay matrix that gives the grapes a profile of great acidity, power and structure, essential ingredients for a wine destined for long ageing.
The manual harvesting of the grapes, followed by a meticulous selection, begins a vinification process that focuses on excellence in craftsmanship. After destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place in cement tanks, with maceration on the skins for around 30 days. 
The Apistós is then aged in French oak barrels of first and second passage for about 18 months before being bottled. A ruby red wine that reveals all the strength of the terroir in the glass, expressing elegant notes of aromatic herbs and green pepper, lively and deep on the palate. The sip continues to caress the palate with its tannins, rich and structured, it closes deep and long, promising an extraordinary evolution with time.
This wine is ideal with important dishes such as first courses with meat sauce, succulent red meats, game or grilled meats.
