Cantico Merlot IGT

Grape variety: Merlot
Vineyard size: 1,0 hectare
Annual production: 420 cases
Colour: Intense ruby-red with violet ligth reflex
Bouquet: Intense aroma with smell of chocolate and coffee
Taste: Stout wine with persistent flavour of dried fruit and tobacco on the palate with strong notes of chocolate and coffee.
Process: following a manual selection and harvesting of the grapes, these are checked again and separated in individual bunches and processed through special machinery (diraspatrice). The first fermentation takes place at controlled temperature (25-26 degrees Celsius) and lasts 20 days. This is followed by a second fermentation (malolactic) in stainless steel bins for 30 days at a temperature of 20-21 degrees Celsius. After 12 months the wine is placed in barriques, small French barrels, for 2 years. It then rests in bottles for another 6 months before being ready for use.
