What kind of wine is it?

Venezia Cabernet Franc Ca’ di Rajo is a still red wine made from Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the province of Treviso. The style is dry and well-structured, with measured tannins and a clean aromatic profile. Fermentation in temperature-controlled steel and aging in both steel and wooden barrels aim to achieve balance without losing varietal character, offering a warm and smooth sip.

Where does it come from?

This Cabernet Franc originates in the province of Treviso, Veneto, in the Venezia appellation area. It is a wine closely tied to Ca’ di Rajo’s local production, interpreting the grape variety with a linear and precise touch. Its Treviso origin is especially evident in the clean aromas and orderly drinkability.

How is it produced?

The grapes are vinified with a 20–25 day maceration in temperature-controlled steel tanks to manage extraction and aroma. After fermentation, the wine is aged in both steel and wooden barrels, aiming to integrate the tannic component while keeping an identifiable and balanced profile.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a ruby red color with violet highlights. The nose reveals herbaceous notes typical of Cabernet Franc, enriched by a hint of cinnamon. The palate is warm and smooth, with soft tannins leading to a dry and consistent finish.

Food pairings

It pairs well with grilled red meats, where its structure and controlled tannins complement the juiciness of the cooking. Its spicy character and dry profile make it ideal for convivial occasions, especially when seeking red wines that are straightforward and not overpowering.

When to serve

Best enjoyed at the table at a temperature of about 16–18 °C, with a brief oxygenation in the glass to soften the herbaceous and spicy notes. Its structure and aging between steel and barrels make it suitable for immediate consumption, preserving balance and drinkability.
