Description

Production area

Merlot: grown in the Angolo vineyard facing north-west, which is characterized by white marl alternating with areas richer in iron and clay that give Merlot elegance and finesse. Barbera: grown in the Presidenta vineyard, it has a southern exposure west and is characterized by an alternation of calcareous marl with a soil rich in clay and iron. A fragrant and elegant Barbera is obtained on these slopes. Winemaking The grapes are harvested according to their respective ripening times and carry out the alcoholic fermentation separately, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the cut is made and the wine is ready for aging. Aging takes place in oak barrels for at least 12 months. From bottling, the wine undergoes another refinement in glass for 6 months.

Taste;

COLOUR: The color is intense, deep, almost impenetrable ruby.

BOUQUET: The nose immediately reveals hints of cherry and raspberry jam, with final notes of cocoa sweets.

PALATE: In the mouth it is impressive, with an enveloping and long tannin, with a freshness that balances the alcohol given by Barbera.

Pairing:
Excellent with tasty red meats, it happily pairs with game or as an accompaniment to long-aged cow cheese.

Recommended serving temperature: 18° C.
