Russiz Superiore, Collio (Friuli, Italy) Cabernet Franc 2011

Nov 7, 2015

By Michael Franz

This wine from Marco Felluga is totally convincing and very complex.  It shows a subtle herbal aromatic note that is totally appropriate for Cabernet Franc (indeed, I’d have been disappointed if it didn’t show up), followed by dark berry and black plum fruit that is completely satisfying — but without any heaviness.  Medium-bodied, with excellent freshness by dint of perfectly proportioned acidity, this is a very fine wine.
