Description

"A fun and rather exciting red wine which is lively with both fruit and acidity. It is an uplifting red that is perfect for the Pinot Noir or Merlot drinker that just wants something a bit different but equally delicious!"

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Stefano Menti

Founded at the end of the 19th century, our family estate is today managed by Giovanni and his son Stefano. We cultivate our vineyards organically using biodynamic methods, and in the cellar only use natural yeasts to better retain the characteristics of the Gambellara terroir.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Bordeaux Red Blend

This is the most famous red blend of them all: Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Just like in Bordeaux, where this blend originates from, you will almost always see Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot in the blend, too. Each grape brings its own special element to the overall wine be it acid, tannin, colour or aromatics.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Veneto

Veneto is a region in the northeast of Italy. It is the region behind the famous red wines of Valpolicella. The wines of Valpolicella are made in a range of styles from dry and light (Valpolicella Superiore) to medium bodied and complex (Valpolicella Ripasso) to the fullest bodied red (Amarone della Valpolicella) and a sweet red made in a passito style (Recioto della Valpolicella). It is also the home to the sparkling wines of Prosecco.
