As the name suggests, the red wine is made from Cabernet Franc grapes (85-100%) with the permitted addition of other non-aromatic, certified grapes from the zone (0-15%), except for the Lambrusco type of grapes, thus this wine has the same grape composition as the non-barrel aged Colli di Parma Cabernet Franc DOC.
Colli di Parma Cabernet Franc Riserva DOC has a more or less intense ruby red color and a distinctive, grassy and inviting bouquet, and a rounded, dry, herbal and harmonious aftertaste.
The wine is a great accompaniment of the entire meal, especially with steak.
The minimum mandatory aging period is 24 months, of which 6 months in the bottle.

That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
Most tourists who have visited Valle d’Aosta (Aosta Valley), have probably never given the region’s name or wines a second thought. Here it’s about skiing on the dramatic slopes around Breuil-Cervinia, at the base of the gigantic mountain, Matterhorn. But the region offers exciting things to do in the après-ski department.
