Why shop with us?
Phigaia After the Red 2023 is a characterful Veneto blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, expressing the Montello and Colli Asolani area through ripe fruit, herbs and spice. Its rounded tannins and long, savoury finish give it an appealing balance of freshness and depth.
Tasting Notes
The nose brings together black cherry and blackcurrant with medicinal herbs and toasted pepper, followed by hints of coffee, vanilla and pink pepper. On the palate, a fresh, fruit-led opening gives way to a savoury texture and smooth, rounded tannins, finishing with lingering spice and liquorice. Its freshness makes it enjoyable while young; its structure may also suit a few years of cellaring.
Production
The vines grow on the ferretto soils around Nervesa della Battaglia in Treviso province and are trained using the Guyot system. Harvest is timed to each variety’s ripeness: Merlot is picked in late September, while Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon follow in late October. The wine matures for 13–18 months in used oak barrels, adding toasted complexity while preserving the fruit.
Food & Serving
Serve with braised beef cheek, lamb chops with rosemary or semi-aged cheeses. A serving temperature of 16–18°C should bring out its fruit and savoury character. Consider decanting for around 30 minutes before serving to let the aromas open.
