Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Ta Dura Red Cabernet Sweet 1.5L offers a lush, velvety sip that’s perfect for relaxed gatherings or a cozy evening in. With an approachable sweetness and smooth mouthfeel, this Moldovan wine stands out at 12% ABV, crafted from carefully selected Cabernet grapes grown in the region’s fertile soils. Its production highlights gentle fermentation to preserve the grape’s natural fruitiness and vibrant character.

On the palate, Ta Dura Red Cabernet Sweet reveals ripe cherry, blackberry jam, and subtle hints of vanilla. The wine’s soft tannins and lingering sweetness make it an excellent match for barbecue ribs, where its fruit-forward profile complements smoky flavors.

Producer Information: Ta Dura

Ta Dura is based in the rolling hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region in northeastern Italy celebrated for its diverse terroir and viticultural heritage. The winery was established by the De Luca family in the early 1990s, who combined generations of agricultural expertise with a passion for sustainable winemaking. Ta Dura’s production approach centers on organic farming practices, minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar, and a commitment to expressing the unique microclimates of their estate vineyards.

Beyond their flagship white wines, Ta Dura offers an extensive portfolio that includes single-vineyard Merlot and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso as well as traditional method sparkling wines crafted from Ribolla Gialla. The producer also distills small-batch grappa using pomace from their own grapes, highlighting local varietal character. In recent years, Ta Dura has expanded into artisanal vermouths infused with regional botanicals and limited-edition craft beers brewed with native yeasts sourced from their vineyards. This diverse range reflects Ta Dura’s dedication to innovation while honoring Friuli’s rich beverage traditions.
