Description
Still red from Collio, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 14.5% ABV, produced by Primosic. Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot. 0.75 L bottle, 2016 vintage. A wine born from the passion of a family that has been producing wines of great character since 1956. The hand-picked grapes are destemmed and the pomace placed in steel fermenters where it begins fermentation with indigenous yeasts and continues in contact with the skins for 19-21 days. Aged in French oak barriques for 24 months, followed by a further 24 months in bottle. The result is a full and fragrant bouquet with subtle aromas of small red fruits. Ruby red in color. On the palate, it has a light, dry, and savory flavor that mellows with age, evolving into a harmonious, very pleasant and almost velvety wine with a garnet-red color.
