Description

1986 Cabernet – F.lli Pighin (Friuli, Italy)

A fully mature, old-school Friulian Cabernet (likely Sauvignon with a touch of Franc) showing savoury poise over power. Deep garnet shading to tawny at the rim; aromas of dried blackcurrant and cherry, cedar and pencil shavings, bay leaf, tobacco and leather, with hints of green peppercorn, cacao and dried herbs. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, cool-climate acidity carries cassis, sour-cherry and chinotto notes; tannins are fine and resolved. The finish is long and tapering with cedar spice, graphite and a touch of cocoa.

Producer note: Fratelli Pighin farms gravelly, well-drained soils between Friuli Grave and the Collio area, crafting classically restrained, food-friendly wines—reds that age toward aromatic lift and savoury finesse rather than heft.

Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast beef or veal with herbs, grilled pork chops, mushroom risotto, aged Montasio or Asiago.
