Production notes
This rich, voluptuous, passionate red wine is made from Corvina (70%) and Merlot (30%) using Montresor’s double extraction method. Grapes are crushed, de-stemmed, and transferred into stainless steel tanks to undergo alcoholic and malolactic fermentations during 48 to 72 hours. Then, part of the juice is racked and transferred into another tank to continue fermentation. Additional grapes are added to the first tank to improve the concentration.
Tasting notes
Corvina and Merlot give ripe fruit, currant and spicy aromas to this warm, rich, voluptuous wine that is true to its terroir.
