Astoria Icòna Cabernet Sauvignon 375ml 13% (2023, Italy)
Astoria Icòna Cabernet Sauvignon Venezia DOC 2023 is an Italian red wine presented in a 375 ml half-bottle with 13% alcohol. 🍇 Cabernet Sauvignon is at the heart of its character, while the Venezia DOC appellation places it within northeastern Italy’s wine landscape. The compact format is a practical choice when a full-sized bottle is more than the table needs, or when you want to compare different wines over a meal.
Its colour is ruby red with violet highlights. 🍒 Red-berry aromas meet a lightly herbaceous note, giving the wine a recognisable Cabernet Sauvignon profile. On the palate, it is rounded, harmonious and velvety, with body and a gentle herbal character. These elements work together rather than competing for attention: the fruit introduces the wine, while its texture shapes the overall impression.
Serve Astoria Icòna Cabernet Sauvignon at 16–18°C in a red-wine glass. 🌡️ If the room is warm, a short period in the refrigerator before serving can help bring the bottle closer to this range. Pour a little first and allow the aroma to open in the glass, then taste it alongside food to explore how the combination changes your impression.
Red meat, game and hard cheeses are natural companions. 🍽️ A simple meat dish or a small cheese selection provides an uncomplicated starting point, without needing an elaborate menu. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat. This 2023 Icòna combines a clear regional identity with the convenience of a half-bottle, making it easy to include in a thoughtfully chosen dinner selection.
