Viansa '21 Moon Mountain Cielo Inizio Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L

This is a magnum bottle (1.5 liters) of wine!

Coming from a mountainside vineyard, these Cabernet grapes produce a concentrated wine that has finessed, bold tannins and a roundness on the palate. Cassis, blackberry, violets, caramel, and a hint of fresh mint abound on the aromatics. The wine comes alive on the palate with notes that mirror the aromatics – blackberry and vanilla on the entry and the floral and dried herbs coming through on the finish. Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon with garlic, peppercorn, and herb rubbed beef with blackberry mostarda.

Harvested in the early morning and destemmed to closed-topped stainless steel tank. Cold soaked for 72 hours before raising the temperature and inoculating with FX10 yeast – selected for its ability to enhance blue or black fruit and release polysaccharides. Wine was fermented for 14 days with twice daily pump-overs before being drained and pressed to stainless steel tank. Secondary fermentation completed in tank, then the wine was aged in 85% new French oak barrels for 19 months. Taransaud, Bel Air, Sylvain, and Quintessence coopers. 

Label Artwork: In Italian, inizio means beginning or start. The sun on this label represents a new day, and in turn conveys the power, strength, and infinite possibility that resides within a new beginning.
