Merlot Drago Rosso 2022

Description

A still red from Veneto, 14% ABV, produced by Paladin, a family-run winery since 1962. A Merlot born from a passion for vines and wine, with meticulous vinification that enhances its characteristics. The grapes are fermented at 25 degrees C to enhance the intensity of the color, while maceration lasts over 18 days. Alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks is followed by a second aging in large barrels, which imparts pleasant aromas and noble wood tannins. On the nose, a strong aromatic charge is perceived, balanced by enveloping aromas reminiscent of red fruits, such as cherry and blueberry, accompanied by light spicy notes. On the palate, it is full and balanced with a good structure. The light tannins give a persistent and harmonious finish.

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
