The result is a single-varietal wine capable of uniting aromatic finesse, tasting tension, and pleasant drinkability.

Territory and wine style

Montebamboli is located in the Montioni Natural Park, in a hilly area of the Costa Toscana characterized by altitude, ventilation, and soils rich in skeleton and mineral components. Here, Cabernet Franc expresses a Mediterranean profile, but with a distinct freshness due to the cooler and rainier climate compared to the coastal strip. The wine is made from hand-selected grapes and careful winemaking, designed to preserve energy, precision, and expressive lightness.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a brilliant ruby red, with good transparency and brightness. The nose reveals hints of currants, wild strawberries, raspberries, and notes of Mediterranean scrub, accompanied by nuances of quinine, white pepper, cocoa, and graphite. The sip is agile and tense, with vibrant freshness, a crunchy yet fine tannin, and a linear progression. The finish is savory, fresh, and mineral, leaving a ferrous sensation and a clean persistence.

Recommended pairings

Thanks to its fresh and smooth profile, Cabernet Franc 2024 Toscana IGT Petra Montebamboli pairs very well with flavorful but not overly structured dishes. It is ideal with roasted white meats, grilled chicken, stewed rabbit, light lamb, mushrooms, sautéed vegetables, and first courses with delicate ragù. Excellent also with fine cured meats, medium-aged cheeses, and Mediterranean cuisine with precise flavors, where the wine's vegetal and spicy notes find a natural balance.

Serving temperature

Serve Cabernet Franc 2024 Toscana IGT Petra Montebamboli at a temperature between 15 and 17 °C.
