Description
The story
The Radì was born in Venice in 1696 under the name Fenice. Almost forty metres long and armed with sixty cannons, she fought against the Turks at the battle of Andros.
Twenty years later, renamed Radì, she became the flagship of the squadron the Order of Malta sent to defend Corfu. A front-line ship, built to withstand.
The Cabernet Franc that bears her name comes from the Colli Orientali del Friuli and has the same solid build. Temperature-controlled maceration and fermentation, aged in steel and wood.
A red made to last.
