There was almost no rain in winter, and temperatures were slightly lower than in 2015. Spring brought very favorable weather, with light rain in March, which prepared the vineyards very well. Summer saw ideal, moderately dry conditions without intense heat, and there was occasional rain in September. Thanks to Planeta's chemical-free viticulture, the grapes were extremely healthy and perfect at harvest, resulting in fruit with expressive tannins and rich aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassification: Menfi DOC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrape Variety: Cabernet Franc 100%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes: Deep, dense ruby red. As expected from a vintage with ideal ripeness, it offers rich fruit aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, and ripe plum, with nuances of violet, rosemary, and a hint of graphite. The palate is powerful yet refined, with abundant, fine-grained tannins providing structure. A long finish reminiscent of dark chocolate and licorice. This is a classic vintage that combines elegance and concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction Method: All grapes are hand-picked and placed in small boxes weighing 14-16 kg. After harvest, they are cooled for 16-24 hours at 8-11°C. At the sorting table, 2-2.5% are initially removed, followed by destemming and a final sorting. Only selected fruit is transferred directly to tanks or barrels via a conveyor belt with a crusher. Alcoholic fermentation uses selected yeasts and takes place in three different types of vessels (tônneaux, barriques, and stainless steel tanks) at controlled temperatures of 18-24°C. Wines fermented in stainless steel tanks and tônneaux are then transferred to oak barrels for aging. After fermentation, the free-run juice is racked, and the pomace is moved to a basket press. After pressing, only the highest quality portions are selected for the wine. Aging takes place in Saury and Seguin Moreau barriques (integral new oak 35%, traditional new oak 38%, traditional second-year oak 27%).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairing: Game, veal, pork chops, wagyu beef, grilled vegetables, aged cheeses\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ITALIAKARA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47553462010086,"sku":"8431816","price":33000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/6681\/4182\/files\/4_1f6d3337-0039-4be1-8a16-e48cb65442bf.png?v=1752466073","url":"https:\/\/italiakara.store\/en\/products\/didacus-cavernetfran-2016-planeta","provider":"ITALIAKARA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
