Albiana- Modra Frankinja
Dark purple red color is result of macceration which is key in our making of Modra frankinja. Ripe dark fruits on the nose with various hints of herbs, spices, forrest ground and smoke truly reveals our specific terroir. Complex mouthfeel with medium acidity and medium plus body reminds us on dark fruits and spices. Elegant style of Modra frankinja, which is best with venison main courses. Wine is also suitable for ageing between 5-8 years for its best potential.
