This 2009 vintage marks the 4th bottling of our witty Piola Cabernet Sauvignon. The name Piola has been used in Piedmont and other regions of northern Italy to indicate a place where villagers and visitors could have simple food brightened by abundant local wines served straight out of the barrel tap. The name has been used by Italian immigrants to describe something that is cool, pleasing, fun or looked in a very positive light by its aficionados. We have chosen this name to brand our simple but lively Cabernet Sauvignon which can be enjoyed with every day food
like Pasta, Pizza, and Salads.

Winemaker Comments

The rustic yet witty Piola Cabernet Sauvignon takes the outcome of an exceptional balance of fruit and tannins enhanced by lower sugar grapes right to your glass. A refreshing texture with complex notes of red fruit, mild spices and a pleasant finish makes this wine ideal for daily food. Drink it slightly cool.
