GARDA MERLOT DOC

Blend of grapes

Merlot 100%

Vineyard

The training system is Guyot. The planting density is 4,000 vines per hectare and the production is around 2.5 kg per plant. The morainic soil lies south of Lake Garda, where the rows enjoy a north-south exposure. The harvest is done by hand.

Vinification and refinement

Fermentation takes place in steel tanks where it remains for the duration of the maceration of at least 10 days. After racking, it is kept in tanks in order to complete the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. At the end of the processes, it is refined for around 6 months before being bottled and put on the market.

Organoleptic notes

Intense red colour. To the nose, it recalls the aromas of red-berry fruit. On the palate, it is soft and velvety while the full body confirms its good structure.

Combinations

It is a pleasing accompaniment to grilled meat, cold cuts, first courses with ragù.
