Friuli Colli Orientali Cabernet DOC is a soft, round and pleasant red wine, best if served within the first 2-3 years. The wine is either made from the rarely seen Cabernet Franc or from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes (85-100%) with the permitted addition of local red grapes (0-15%).
Friuli Colli Orientali Cabernet DOC has a ruby red color, which turns to garnet red with age, an intense, grape-like, typical scent as well as a dry and balanced taste, with good body and a slightly bitter aftertaste.
The aging potential is up to 3 years, however, from certain producers the wines made from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape are top quality with an aging potential of up to 10 years.
A barrel-aged Friuli Colli Orientali Cabernet Riserva DOC is also available, with minimum 11% alcohol content and a mandatory period of aging of no less than 2 years.

That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
If you envision Sicily as an independent country, it would have the world’s seventh largest wine production, but despite the large quantities, the quality is high and steadily increasing. Today, Sicily has Italy’s third-largest wine production, and the island’s wine is Southern Italy’s most stable in terms of quality.
