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.

Passion, research, dedication and respect for traditions: these are the main values that the Paladin family has always pursued since Valentino founded the company in 1962, following in the footsteps and traditions of his grandfather. Carlo, Lucia and Roberto have subsequently brought new stimuli and energy with the aim of producing wines of excellence and great territorial typicality, always respecting the family traditions.

The vineyards, lovingly cared for like gardens, are immersed in the harmonious rural landscape that evokes ancient traditions and cultures. The estate extends over almost 100 hectares of green vineyards between Eastern Veneto and Friuli, an area where viticulture and oenology enjoy an ancient and renowned tradition.

In this area, the love of wine and wine-growing goes back as far as Roman times: in the first century A.D., Pliny described this fertile centurial area as an immense vineyard and spoke of the ships that sailed from the Upper Adriatic ports to Rome, filled with wine amphorae. Centuries later, the Republic of Venice imported the 'noble drink', which was traded throughout its domain.

It is precisely in the Lison area that artefacts have recently been found that bear witness to the area's oenological past. Read more
