The Cabernet Franc Lienà by Chiappini Giovanni Azienda Agricola is an IGT Tuscany Red 2019 with a refined and territorial profile, made from 100% Cabernet Franc.

Territory and wine style

This wine consistently interprets the Bolgheri soul, expressing a sunny and harmonious version of Cabernet Franc. The IGT Tuscany designation allows for a free and identity-driven expression, while the origin from medium-textured soils with alluvial skeleton contributes to giving the wine balance and lift. The harvest at the end of September and the vinification in steel with natural yeasts enhance the purity of the fruit, while the aging of at least 24 months in French oak barriques completes the profile with complexity and finesse.

Tasting notes

The overall impression is harmonious, with a structure that supports the sip without weighing it down.
