Product information
Description

Lunatic Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is an exceptional Albanian wine produced by Bello Winery in the Perlati region near Durres. With its ruby ​​red color and delicate orange hues, this wine promises a rich and complex tasting experience, highlighted by its distinctive aging process in cherry wood barrels.

Aromatic and flavor profile

Lunatic Cabernet Sauvignon presents a bouquet of intense and spicy aromas, with notes of violets, plus subtle hints of tobacco and oak from the aging process. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced, offering rich flavors that make it an ideal pairing with red meats, hearty pasta dishes and mature cheeses.

Production method

This wine is made using a unique process that involves aging in cherry wood barrels, which imparts a delicate spiciness and a velvety texture. After aging in barrel, the wine is further aged in the bottle, refining its structure and deepening its complexity. The proximity to the Adriatic Sea, just 2 km from the vineyard, enhances its freshness and highlights its strong marine influence.

Pairing suggestions and serving temperature

The 2017 Lunatic Cabernet Sauvignon pairs perfectly with red meats, such as grilled steaks or roast lamb, and mature cheeses. For an optimal tasting experience, serve the wine at around 18°C ​​​​to fully enhance its aromas and flavors.

About the producer
mezemer icon product
The first bottle of wine produced by Bello Winery dates back to 1977 and then, after several decades of experience, gave rise to the actual founding of the Cantina itself, which officially took place in 1994. The Winery is located in a hamlet of Durrës, Perlat, located in a hilly area 2 km away from the sea that serves as a bridge between the coast and the mountainous area. Bello Winery's vines are all certified by the Rauscedo Cooperative Nurseries (VCR), a cutting-edge, industry-leading winery. The vines are selected and planted after careful analysis of the soil, which, thanks to the geographical location and the wind favored by the sea, requires a minimum amount of phytosanitary treatment. The area planted with vines is about 8 to 10 hectares. The grape varieties present in Bello Winery are:- Shesh i Bardhë (native Albanian grape variety)- Merlot- Carmenere- Cabernet Sauvignon- Touriga Nacional- Malbec.A very relevant peculiarity of the winery concerns fermentation, as all fermentations take place using the "Metodo Ganimede": it is a method imported from Italy and unique in its kind, used in Albania only by Cantina Bello.
