Cabernet Riserva Podalirius Vigna Peters Kreid 2020 - 13,5% vol. Morandell Winery

Description: 
Podalirius is the name for the Cabernet Franc Riserva that grows on the most prized field, which is the "Vigna Peters Kreid" located directly on Lake Kaltern. It is the melody of wine and love - it is the warmth of summer and the strength that comes from the depths of the earth: It is "Iphyclides podalirius", the butterfly that fills its stage with elegance and personality, charisma and attention. A truly noble wine. 

Those who love this wine slip into the role of the butterfly and can draw the circles of their life with sweetness yet full of splendour. Transformation and perspective are the themes of this sophisticated wine. A character to befriend - a wine to meditate on - and a wine to 'sip slowly'.
