The first vines ever planted at our Crispino Estate Vineyard were Cabernet Franc for a reason: this is the wine our Founders, Len and Marisa Crispino, had always imagined would inspire others, this is the wine they knew would prove that Appassimento had a place in Ontario winemaking. And so, it's time we recognized this incredible legacy...
In honour of of our Founders, the 2017 vintage of our 100% Appassimento Cabernet Franc debuts new label art and a new moniker: L'Eredita, meaning legacy. This wine is not meant to be released until next year, but we simply couldn't wait to give you a preview.
As part of a limited time offer, you now have access to past, present, and future vintages of the 100% Appassimento Cabernet Franc, including the L'eredita.
LIBRARY DOORS CLOSE SEPTEMBER 15th!
