Winemaker and winery: Mr. Elvio Forato, Cantina B. Bartolomeo Breganze.
Grape variety: 100% Merlot.
Region: Veneto.
Viticulture/Vinification: Vineyards are managed by eco-friendly methods. Hand harvesting and destemming takes place. Pre-fermentation maceration on the skins for seven days is followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature for about 15 days in stainless steel vats. The wine does not spend any time in oak. Filtered and cold stabilised for 10 days at -4 °C.
Pale red and cherry-scented. Light and fruity – think Valpolicella. Pretty simple but not lacking, considering the alcohol.
