Mosole Hora Sexta 2012

Lison Pramaggiore, Veneto, Italy

Tenuta Mosole is situated in the easternmost part of the province of Venice, near the border with Friuli. It is located off the famous wine road, "Strada dei Vini". Hora Sexta in Latin means sixth hour or, to the Romans, 'Noon.' Hora Sexta is also the name of this Carmenere and Cabernet Franc blend (80%/20%). These two varietals have been grown for generations in the northeast area of Italy.

Mosole Hora Sexta was aged in French oak barriques of 225 litres for twelve months. It's a ruby red wine with an intense and elegant aroma and a soft scent of forest floor, wild berries, mint and cacao. It has well framed tannins on a smooth structure with a long, pleasing finish.

Enjoy Mosole Hora Sexta over the next 6-8 years with roast beef, pastas with meat sauces, rich vegetarian dishes and aged cheeses.
