A Niagara Cabernet suitable for everyday use
A fruity-spicy Cabernet Franc from a good vintage. The maturation took place for 19 months in new and used French oak
And this is how the Cabernet Franc by Pillitteri tastes
The Pillitteri Cabernet Franc exudes a wonderful scent of ripe wild berries and blood plums with hints of liquorice and notes of cigar and flint. The palate is strong and lush with aromas of ripe raspberries and plums, paired with black pepper sharpness and light vanilla character. The tannin is wonderfully matured and supple, an elegant Cabernet with a long, animating finish.
2018 Pillitteri Cabernet Franc
And the Cabernet Franc from Pillitteri goes well with it
Here are some dishes with which the Pillitteri Cabernet Franc could go well:
Meat dishes:
- Herb-crusted fillet of beef: a high-quality fillet of beef wrapped in a herb crust of thyme, rosemary and garlic, gently roasted and served with a red wine reduction that complements the deep, savoury notes of the Cabernet Franc.
- Braised lamb with plums: Slowly braised lamb, nestled in a sauce of plums, star anise and cinnamon, offers a perfect balance of sweetness and spice that highlights the fruity components of the Canadian wine.
Poultry variations:
- Duck breast with cherry chilli glaze: A succulent duck breast glazed with a sweet and spicy cherry chilli sauce highlights the fruity and slightly spicy notes of the Pillitteri Cabernet Franc.
- Turkish chicken skewers with paprika and yoghurt-mint dip: The spices and refreshing dip can appeal to the subtle green pepper notes in the wine and offer a nice complexity.
Vegetarian specialities:
- Stuffed peppers with quinoa and black beans: A filling of quinoa, black beans, sweetcorn and tomatoes, flavoured with cumin and coriander, pairs beautifully with the earthy and vegetal elements of the wine from Canada.
- Portobello Mushroom Steaks with Thyme and Roasted Garlic: Large portobello mushrooms marinated in olive oil, thyme and roasted garlic, roasted or grilled to complement the umami and earthy notes of Cabernet Franc from Niagara.
Cheese and delicatessen:
- Mature cheese platter with fig compote: a selection of mature cheeses such as aged Gouda or Manchego, served with a sweet fig compote to balance the rich tannins of the wine.
- Grilled halloumi with lemon dressing and pine nuts: The salty halloumi, paired with the freshness of lemon and the crunch of pine nuts, offers a light but flavourful option that pairs well with the fruity aspects of the Canadian red wine.
Desserts:
- Dark chocolate truffle with sea salt: The bitterness of the dark chocolate and the crunchy texture of the sea salt emphasise the subtle sweet notes and structure of the Canadian Cabernet Franc.
