DI NOTTE VIGNETI DELLE DOLOMITI IGT new enticing red blend to embrace your senses.
PRODUCTION AREAThe red grapes that grow on the granitic soils of the inward slopinghillsides of the Dolomites are a study in patience. The soils provide theunique flavor profiles of grapes like Teroldego, Marzemino andMerlot, resulting from the decomposition of the sheer cliffs of oursurrounding narrow mountain valley cliffs, and from the alluvialdeposits made by glaciers and the ever-dominant Adige River
.VINIFICATIONMarzemino is vinifed in the classic red winemaking style at 75-85°F for12 to 13 days with the addition of selected yeasts. Teroldego andMerlot are matured, separately, for six months in lightly toasted, threeyears old French oak barrels.The three wines are blended in stainless steel and set to rest up to sixmonths before bottling.
