Description
What kind of wine it is
Paladin Merlot is a still red wine made from Merlot grapes, capable of expressing the authentic character of Veneto. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour with violet highlights, while the nose is dominated by an intense and vinous bouquet. Notes of violet emerge, intertwined with hints of ripe red fruit, cherries and dark berries. On the palate, it is dry and balanced, characterised by a smooth structure and pleasant, well-integrated tannins, offering a harmonious drink and a persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This red originates from vineyards located in Annone Veneto, within the historic Lison-Pramaggiore area enhanced by Paladin. Production follows a strict organic and sustainable approach, aimed at preserving local typicity and respecting the ecosystem. The identity of this wine stems from the desire to offer a clean and recognisable expression of the Merlot grape, focusing on aromatic freshness and a dry profile. It is a vision that reflects the deep connection with the land, making it ideal for accompanying moments of conviviality.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with fermentation and maceration on the skins at a controlled temperature, essential for optimal extraction of colour and aromatic components. Once this phase is complete, the wine matures for several months in stainless steel tanks. This technique preserves the fresh aromas and varietal character of the Merlot grape. The result is a certified vegan product, distinguished by a harmonious taste supported by a pleasant and velvety structure.
