Speak of the world’s most famous wine and you mean Bordeaux, speak of Bordeaux and you mean Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. I believe that, in absolute terms, these are the most generous grape varieties and those best suited to the most diverse terroirs and climates, always giving fine, if not excellent results. A combination in different percentages has always led to even better results. Cabernet Franc is more grassy, almost bug-like, with notes of red pepper, but what sets it apart is its powerful personality. Cabernet Sauvignon is more supple, harmonious and spicy, and it always gives excellent results, both alone and in a blend. Lastly, the Merlot brings in all the intensity and silkiness needed to create harmony and character. Dimezzo is a perfect fusion of flavours and fragrances that combines power and elegance for a rich, harmonious palate.
