Cabernet Franc from the Antonopoulos Vineyards cannot be missing from any proper and well-organized summer barbeque. Its deep purple color and roasted red and green pepper aromas, combined with its rich structure, will win you over from the very first sip and you won't be able to put it down easily. It also bears the signature "Selections of Constantinos" and here things get serious!
In 1983, Konstantinos Antonopoulos planted his first vines in the Achaia peninsula, at an altitude of 950 meters. The location he chose to cultivate was not at all accidental, since he immediately understood the dynamics of the terroir, in a location surrounded by the mountains Panachaikos, Helmos, and Erymanthos, with the cool breezes ripening the grapes perfectly. Today, the "Selections of Constantinos" collection expresses the vision of Constantinos Antonopoulos, to highlight the special characteristics of the varieties that adapted to this place and gave masterpiece wines.
Cabernet Franc is considered one of the hardier varieties on the vine and the steep and inaccessible hills put another degree of difficulty in its cultivation and harvest. After fermentation, it matured in oak barrels for about 18 months and its fine aromas balanced the barrel feel and gave a very enjoyable result.
Cabernet Franc from Konstantinos Selections is a must-try with pizza or any meat for BBQ and if you cool it for half an hour it will be a balm!
