In a metaphorical reference to the medieval “Ars Magna” table of Ramon Llull, our Cabernet Franc ARS MAGNA is represented by “Magnitudo” – a Latin term expressing not only greatness, strength and importance, but also nobility of spirit. Grown in a specific plot with sandy loam soil, this quintessential Bordeaux variety achieves an excellent and exceptionally rare ripeness of the grapes.
