Vineyard Drăgăşani
The most beautiful landscapes appear in autumn afternoons, when the sunlight falls gentle on the hills that are planted with grapevines.
What can be nobler than a good wine, produced by organic plantation. After maturation of wine for 9 months in oak barrels, wines can be kept for aging or can be consumed. Cabernet Sauvignon is a widespread variety worldwide. It is resistant to drought, to mildew and gray mold, having a medium tolerance to frost (-22°C). It is nicknamed “the king of red wine grapes” and often paired with other reds, including Merlot and Shiraz (Syrah).
In autumn, at the end of the vegetation, Cabernet Sauvignon, like most red wine varieties, gain on leaves a beautiful red coloring.
In regions with cool climates, Cabernet Sauvignon can take the flavors like "herbaceous" or "green pepper". In regions with warmer climate wines of Cabernet Sauvignon may gain flavors like "blackcurrant" or "cooked".
The bold flavored Cabernet Sauvignon is often matched with strong flavored foods like: chocolate (some specialists says does not, but it match if the chocolate is chosen carefully), grilled steak (red meat preferably), lamb chops, strong flavored cheeses (Camembert, Roquefort and others).
