Angélica Zapata Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is not typically a star in Argentina, but Catena Zapata has been proving for years that Mendoza has something interesting to say with this varietal. It's a more aromatic wine with finer tannins than Cabernet Sauvignon, possessing a clear and distinctive personality.

WINE PROFILE

100% Cabernet Franc from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza. A medium-to-full-bodied red, with silkier tannins than other reds in the line and an acidity that provides backbone and length. The aging in French oak is carefully managed to preserve the varietal's characteristic aromatic expression. A wine with its own identity within the range. %

SUGGESTED PAIRING
