Creso Vino da Tavola Cabernet Sauvignon del Veneto 1993 - Bolla

This noble red wine, the young heir of a long wine-making tradition, was named after Croesus, the King of Lydia, who was renowned for his riches and elegance. Creso is a Cabernet Sauvignon that is aged for nearly 18 months in French oak barrels according to the Bordeaux technique. It is blended with a small percentage (which varies from year to year) of Corvina wine from Verona, whose grapes are harvested later in the season to increase their sugar content and undergo separate vinification. Since Corvina has less tannin than Cabernet, it smoothes the tartness and gives the wine a softer and rounder flavour. It adds a touch of Veronese flair that sets Creso apart from many other Cabernet wines produced around the world. Area of origin: Veneto.
