Généralités

Notes de dégustation (recommandé):The Merlot lends the wine a soft, blackberry voluptuousness, whereas the ripe Corvina adds the characteristic cherry blossom perfume and ripe cherry pie fruit character to the palate and finish. Clean, fresh and well-balanced through to the finish.

Vignoble

% de raisin / cépage (type de vin):55% MERLOT 45% CORVINA

Facteurs climatiques pour maturité / conditions requises pour les vendanges:The fruit for the Merlot Corvina is grown in vineyards situated next to the Soave zone in the Val d’Alpone. The Merlot is grown on the warm, sheltered plains, on clay soils and the Corvina in the foothills on tufaceous basalt soils. Both are in vineyards with excellent exposure to ensure complete ripeness.

Vinification (fermentation)

Méthode:The grapes were hand harvested, de-stemmed, crushed and pumped to stainless steel tanks purpose-built for fermenting red wine. 25% of the juice was drained from the tank in order to increase the ratio of solids to liquid, which in turn resulted in a wine with greater colour and flavour. The wine was pumped over the cap every hour in the early stages to increase extraction further. It was left in contact with the skins for 4-5 days, and fermentation took place at temperatures up to 30°C. Once complete, the wine remained in tank until bottling.
