Practising organic. Rubeo is named after the latin name for ruby, this represents a special grape for Luca, Cabernet Franc. From the Classico zone, near the Adige river, planted on gravel and moraine soils formed from an ancient riverbed. Hand-harvested fruit from estate owned vineyards, Rubeo comes from the best clusters of grapes which are carefully selected, and dried for about 60 days. Then the grapes are pressed, and after a few days of maceration on skins alcoholic fermentation begins. After the wine is racked into inox where it stays until June. It's then aged for three years in Slavonian oak barrels of 2,25 to 20 hl capacity. No fining and just a light filtration. 

The rich and concentrated fruit flavors of Amarone, share the stage with dried Cab Franc accentuated by tobacco, dried oregano, raspberry, and green peppercorn indicative of this grape when dried. As the savory elements unfold, hints of smoked meat and spices are prevalent with noticeable tannins, structure, and length.
