In an impressive departure from the norm, this vibrant offering features 85% carmenere and 15% merlot, showcasing the rarity of carmenere as a single varietal in italy, particularly in traditional veneto. Hand harvested grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel, following by malolactic fermentation and 12 months of ageing in used barriques and stainless steel. The result is a balanced, fresh wine with an elegant structure, showcasing fruity and spicy character. It is drinking well now and will continue to age for another 5 10 years.
