Description

For Merlot Drago Rosso, the vineyards with the most important sun exposure are selected to ensure the perfect ripening of the fruit. Subsequently, the grapes are left on the vine for slight over-ripening, which gives the wine a decisive aromatic charge and an enveloping structure.

  • Bottles produced: 1.600.000
  • Hectares: 100
Paladin Vigne e Vini is the first winery of the whole Casa Paladin group, it’s a family owned estate founded by our father in 1962, in Motta di Livenza, near Treviso. It’s located at the boundaries of the Venetian land where we moved in the mid-70s, in Annone Veneto, a historic village located in the Roman Postumia road. The passion and love for vine and wine comes from our father, Valentino, who used to follow his grandfather, since he was a child, in the vineyards and in the cellar.

Passion, research, dedication and respect for traditions are the main values that have been guiding his philosophy since he created his own cellar. He was strongly determined to enhance the territorial typicalness of our Lison-Pramaggiore area, by producing excellent wines. Read more
