2017 Allora Lusso Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Lusso in Italian means luxury. This wine is the true embodiment of luxury. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 15 which is a very rare, old clone. Only 100 cases are produced each year. Additionally, only wild yeast is used in the fermentation process. Although this method is extremely time-consuming and labor intensive, the extra time the grape skins and juice spend in extended maceration results in layer upon layer of complex, intense flavor as well as dark, dense color. The flavor profile of Lusso is truly indulgent with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, black raspberry and black currant while the texture has the richness of suede. The label showcases the incredible artwork of the world-renowned Margaret Keane whose life story was portrayed in the movie "Big Eyes."
