Exceptional Albanian wine from the Bello winery, Lunatic Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is produced in the Perlati region, near Durres. Ruby red with thin orange nuances, this promises a full and complex tasting emphasized by its peculiar aging in cherry wood barrels..
Aromatic and flavor profile
This Lunatic Cabernet Sauvignon features a spice-rich nose with marked violet notes, subtle hints of tobacco, and oak from the aging process. On the palate, this is smooth and well-balanced, full of flavor, and thus perfect for matching to red meat, pasta in strong sauces, and mature cheeses.
Production method
This wine was made in a special way: aged in cherry wood barrels that give it a delicate spiciness and a velvety texture. After aging in the barrel, the wine was further aged in the bottle, refining its structure and deepening its complexity. Its closeness to the Adriatic Sea, lying only 2 km from the vineyard, defines its freshness and underlines its strong marine influence.
Pairing suggestions and serving temperature
This 2017 Lunatic Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with red meats, such as steaks either grilled or roast lamb, all accompanied by ripe cheese. Its full expression of aromas and flavors will come when the wine reaches a temperature of about 18°C .
