Carlevana Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Carlevana Cabernet Sauvignon wraps your senses in a velvet embrace, unfolding layers of ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a subtle whisper of cedar that lingers long after the glass is set down. Crafted in Moldova’s sun-drenched vineyards, this red wine captures the essence of its terroir with every pour. At 13.00% ABV, it strikes a perfect balance between boldness and elegance, making it an ideal companion for a juicy steak or the nutty complexity of aged cheddar. The tannins are polished yet assertive, supporting flavors of plum and tobacco leaf while hints of spice add intrigue to each mouthful. Carlevana Cabernet Sauvignon is more than just a drink—it’s an invitation to savor Moldova’s winemaking heritage with every taste.
