Zuccardi Polígonos Cabernet Franc 2023 is a pure, high-altitude expression of Cabernet Franc from San Pablo in the Uco Valley. This wine highlights the grape’s aromatic lift, precision, and natural elegance when grown in a cool, mountain-influenced site.
The color is a vibrant ruby with violet highlights. On the nose, it shows bright red fruits (raspberry, cherry), floral notes, fresh herbs, and gentle spice. The palate is medium-bodied and finely structured, with firm yet polished tannins, juicy acidity, and a persistent, savory finish.
This is a Cabernet Franc that balances drinkability and complexity, making it a standout option for those who love character-driven reds with freshness.
