Siesta - Cabernet Franc 2019 (750ml) MinnellaThis wine demonstrates the great aptness of Vista Flores for this variety, presenting its particular brilliance of young fruit in which it expresses its notes of fresh, crisp red fruit and defined balsamic touches along with vegetable aromas, together with a slight spicy presence.
