San Simone Cabernet Sauvignon Nexus Riserva 2021

San Simone Cabernet Sauvignon Nexus Riserva 2021 is a distinctive Friuli-Venezia Giulia red that brings together international elegance and local tradition. Named after the Latin word for “connection,” it reflects the winery’s commitment to linking heritage, culture, and terroir in a wine that has been part of the region’s story for more than a century.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby-red color with a refined, structured profile. The nose typically offers ripe dark berries, blackcurrant, subtle spice, and a hint of earthy complexity, while the palate is full-bodied and balanced, with firm tannins, good freshness, and a lingering finish that speaks to its Riserva character. Its well-built structure suggests strong cellaring potential, allowing the wine to gain further nuance and softness over time. With a few years in bottle, the fruit can integrate beautifully with the wine’s savory and oak-influenced notes.

Production
Produced in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region known for its varied soils and temperate, Adriatic-influenced climate, this Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from a terroir that supports slow, even ripening. The vineyards are rooted in a tradition of growing this variety for over 100 years, and the Riserva designation points to a more selective approach to vinification and ageing, aimed at highlighting depth, structure, and regional identity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs well with roasted and grilled red meats, braised dishes, game, and mature cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if drinking young to help open up its aromas and soften the tannins.
