Case Paolin Cabernet Sauvignon

General Information

Case Paolin is more than just a vineyard or wine, it's a family affair. Started in the '70s by Emilio Pozzobon, now grandfather of the Pozzobon family, he purchased the estate where his father and grandfather worked as sharecroppers. Emilio has been fortunate enough to share his passion for wine with his three sons, who have now taken over the reigns.

How It Looks ... Beautiful bright ruby core, lightening towards the rim, offering you a brilliant shade of violet.

How It Smells ... Wild forest fruit of tart currants, juicy blackberries and freshly ripened raspberries. Overall, a pleasant vegetal fragrance lightened with fresh lilacs and large, fleshy red plums.

How It Tastes ... Very fruit forward with your first few sips offering bright forest berries, currants, raspberries and blackberries. The fruit gives way to a warm earth flavour reminiscent of a late night walk through the woods. The faint underlying taste of light pink peppercorns is a welcome subtlety. A nice grippy texture for mouth feel without being overwhelming.

Pairs Perfectly With ... Enjoy with a braised short rib pie, a perfect dinner for the cooler months, partnered with a thick French loaf.
