Wines Veneto La Cacciatora - Cabernet Sauvignon - 2024

La Cacciatora Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 from Veneto is a red wine that draws on the rich winemaking traditions of northern Italy. While specifics of the vinification are not detailed, a Venetian Cabernet Sauvignon often expresses generous ripe fruit, such as black cherry and blackberry, along with subtle herbal or spicy notes, supported by a supple structure and moderate tannins. With its “cuvée” designation, this wine might blend different vineyard parcels or even feature a touch of other local varieties, aiming for balance, freshness, and approachability. Given its 2024 vintage, the wine is likely lively and youthful, with bright acidity and fruit-forward character.

Veneto, one of Italy’s most prolific and diverse wine regions, stretches between the foothills of the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. This varied geography creates a range of microclimates, but the broad plains and gentle hills are especially suited to international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon. The soils in the area are frequently a mix of alluvial gravel, clay, and limestone, lending structure and subtle mineral notes to the wines. Veneto has a long history of adapting both traditional and international grape varieties, producing everything from the sparkling Prosecco to robust reds like Amarone and fruity, accessible bottlings such as this one.

A wine of this expressive yet supple Venetian style is highly versatile at the table. Pair it with classic Italian dishes such as aubergine parmigiana, lasagne, or simply grilled meats and vegetables. It works very well with regional Veneto fare like risotto all’Amarone or a hearty beef stew (stracotto di manzo). If you prefer cheese, opt for hard Italian varieties such as Grana Padano or Asiago.

For tasting, uncork this bottle shortly before serving and pour at around 16-18°C to let its fruit, spice, and subtle savoury elements reveal themselves fully. Enjoy in a large glass to savour the wine’s aromatic breadth and youthful vibrancy.
